XADM: Move Server Wizard: Exporting Custom Attributes and Values

ID: Q198759


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5


SUMMARY

Custom attributes can be exported during the Move Server operation even if they do not have the same name (description and admin-display-name) in both the source and in the destination sites. The data is preserved while the attribute name might differ.


MORE INFORMATION

To test the behavior, follow these steps:

Configuration

  • Server S1 in site1/org1


  • Server S2 in site2/org2


  1. In site1, rename CustomAttribute1 as BirthDate.


  2. In site2, rename CustomAttribute1 as HiringDate.


  3. Create a mailbox, M, on S1, and set BirthDate = 5/6/65.


  4. Move server S1 to site2/org2.


Result

M in site2/org2 will have HiringDate = 5/6/65.
