Introduction

This document will guide System Administrators through a process of migration from Microsoft Exchange to IceWarp Server throughout a short wizard consisting of seven steps.

The general purpose of IceWarp Exchange Migrator Tool is to facilitate the migration data from Microsoft Exchange Server to IceWarp Server minimizing the workload and possibility of error, thanks to the wide selection of options. Users can also perform tests and go back to a previous step at any time.

To download IceWarp Exchange Migrator Tool, ask our IceWarp support team for directions.
