  • On-premises Exchange to Office 365 or hosted Exchange
  • Transfer mail, contacts, and calendars without data loss

Features of Kernel Migrator for Exchange

Planning an Exchange Server migration? Kernel Migrator for Exchange supports cross-forest transfers between two Exchange Servers, intra-forest moves across Exchange versions, and hybrid migrations that mix on-premises, hosted, and Office 365 environments. Every major Exchange and Office 365 release is supported, so mailboxes, contacts, and calendars move across without errors. Beyond migration, the tool can also back up a server's mailboxes to PST, EML, or MSG format, giving administrators a safety net before and after the move.

Pre-Migration Risk Analysis

Before any data moves, the software reviews system configuration, the number of active servers, and available bandwidth, then reports the likely risk level. Administrators can review these findings and decide how and when to proceed, cutting down on surprises mid-migration.

Live Synchronization Between Servers

While migration is running, the tool keeps source and destination mailboxes in sync and shows the status of both. Items disappear from the source folder as they are moved and appear in the target Exchange Server, so progress can be tracked from either side in real time.


Migrate Rules, Permissions, and Passwords

Mailbox rules, Outlook permissions, and item metadata such as sender, recipient, and timestamps are carried over exactly as they were on the source server. SID history and account passwords can also be migrated, depending on what the administrator selects for the job.

Real-Time Migration Alerts

Status updates can be delivered inside the application or sent to a chosen email address as the migration runs. The View Reports section shows when a job started, when it finished, and whether any interruption occurred along the way.


Flexible Job Customization

Administrators choose exactly which folders to migrate and can split thousands of mailboxes into smaller, separately scheduled jobs. Each job can be reviewed in the migrated-items list, which refreshes automatically as the transfer proceeds.

Multi-Agent Configuration

Large migrations can be spread across several agent systems instead of running through a single machine. This distributes the workload, keeps servers with limited resources from being overwhelmed, and speeds up the overall transfer.


Rollback / Undo Migration

If mailboxes are selected for transfer by mistake during a large batch job, the rollback feature stops the operation immediately without disrupting the servers already involved, letting administrators correct the selection and try again.

Express Edition for Small Migrations

For moving data between just one or two servers, a lighter express edition covers Exchange-to-Exchange and Exchange-to-Office 365 transfers, keeping smaller jobs accurate without the overhead of the full toolkit. The software is also available in multiple languages, including English, German, Spanish, and Italian.
