Merge email server profiles for migration

  • Article

 

Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2013

In Microsoft Dynamics CRM Email Router, incoming and outgoing Email Server profiles are different and each user or queue is attached to both an incoming and an outgoing profile. However, in server-side synchronization, both the incoming and outgoing profiles are present in a single profile and a user is attached to a single Email Exchange Server profile. In this topic, you will learn how the incoming and outgoing Email Server profiles are merged to create a new profile in server-side synchronization.

For more information on how to migrate data and settings from Email Router to server-side synchronization, see Migrate settings from the Email Router to server-side synchronization.

Note

Migration isn’t supported for Exchange 2003, Exchange 2007 (WebDAV), and any custom types.

When a new email server profile is created, all the user mailboxes using that server profile are added to this profile. Any profile with custom protocol present in Email Router will not be detected for migration and user will not see any custom protocol related messages on the UI. Timestamps of all the mailboxes will be updated whether their corresponding email server profile is migrated or not.
