System Impact of the EdbMails Application

During installation and configuration, EdbMails may apply changes to ensure compatibility and successful connection with the source and target environments.

• Operating System Requirements

  The application checks for and installs the required version of .NET Framework if it’s not already present.

• Source Exchange Server Changes

  The admin account used to connect to the source Exchange server must be assigned the ApplicationImpersonation and View-Only Configuration roles.

  These permissions allow EdbMails to access and migrate all mailboxes within the organization.

• Target Exchange Server Changes

  Similarly, the admin account for the target Exchange server must have ApplicationImpersonation and View-Only Configuration roles to enable full access for mailbox migration.

• Office 365 (Exchange Online) Configuration

  For Office 365 migrations, the admin account must be granted the ApplicationImpersonation, View-Only Recipients, and View-Only Configuration roles.

  These roles provide the necessary impersonation rights to access and migrate all user mailboxes.
