Office 365 Migration Installation Overview
This overview helps you choose the correct setup task for the EdbMails Office 365 Migration Tool. Use it when installing the application on a migration computer, updating an existing installation, or removing the software after the project and any required follow-up runs are complete.
The detailed procedures are kept on separate pages so that installation, upgrade, and removal instructions remain easy to follow. Before making a change, confirm which action you need and review the preparation notes below.
Choose the Correct Installation Task
| Condition | Correct route | Why |
|---|---|---|
| EdbMails is not installed on the migration computer | Install the program | Use the first-time setup procedure to download the installer and complete the Windows installation. |
| An earlier EdbMails version is already installed | Update or upgrade the program | Follow the supported update path and verify the application configuration after the new version opens. |
| The migration project is finished and the application is no longer required | Uninstall the program | Remove the installed application only after confirming that no retry, incremental pass, validation, or report review still depends on the computer. |
Before You Install or Update EdbMails
- Review the supported platforms and system requirements for the current release.
- Use a Windows computer that can remain available during the migration and has reliable access to the source, target, and required Microsoft endpoints.
- Confirm that the signed-in Windows account can install applications and that endpoint protection or application-control policies allow the installer.
- Save active migration reports and note the current configuration before an update or removal.
- Close EdbMails before starting an update and avoid changing the installation while a migration operation is running.
Install EdbMails for the First Time
Download the current installer from the official EdbMails website and complete the setup on the computer that will run the migration. The dedicated installation procedure covers the installer screens and application launch. After setup, open EdbMails and confirm that the application starts normally before configuring source or target connections.
Update an Existing Installation
Use the update or upgrade procedure when EdbMails is already present. Finish or pause active work first, record the current project state, and follow the documented upgrade sequence. When the application reopens, confirm the version and review the expected settings, connections, mailbox lists, and recent reports before resuming a batch.
Uninstall EdbMails After the Project
Uninstall the application through the documented Windows procedure when the computer is being decommissioned or the migration work is complete. Before removal, retain the reports and project information required by your organization. Also confirm that no pending retry, incremental migration, post-migration validation, or audit review needs the existing installation.
What to Do After Installation
Once the application opens successfully, review how the EdbMails application works. Then prepare the source and destination environments, choose the required migration operation, and validate a small pilot before running the remaining mailboxes.
- Confirm that the intended source and target tenants or servers are ready.
- Use the correct authentication and application-registration method for each environment.
- Load and review the expected mailboxes before creating source-to-target mappings.
- Run a pilot and check the migration report before expanding the batch.
