I swear I have looked all over for this, but can't find an answer. I am trying to do a Cutover Exchange Migration. I have gotten to the point where I need to create the migration batch. The problem is that I do not have the "E-mail Migration" button in the ECP under Manage My Organization > Users & Groups. I've tried logging in as both a Migration Administrator user (that I gave Receive As permission) and as as "Administrator", but neither has the "E-mail Migration" button in the ECP. Help!

Hi, You are describing buttons that doesn't exist in Exchange 2010, but maybe they do in Office 365. I would not know. I suggest that you post your question in the Office 365 Forum to get help with your problem. http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/default.aspxMartina Miskovic

In this document: http://help.outlook.com/en-us/140/ms.exch.ecp.emailmigrationwizardexchangelearnmore.asp it has the following: Step 1 Create the migration batch Select Manage My Organization > Users & Groups > E-Mail Migration > New. On the Welcome to E-mail Migration page, select one of the following migration types: Exchange 2007 and later versions - Automatically detect connection settings with Autodiscover Select this option if you want the migration service to automatically connect to your on-premises Exchange server using the Autodiscover service.Exchange 2003 and later versions - Manually specify connection settings Select this option if your on-premises messaging system is running Exchange 2003 or if you are running a later version but want to manually provide the connection settings to your on-premises mail server. Click Next after you select a migration type. So it appears that there SHOULD be this E-Mail Migration option in ECP.

OK... I think I may have been a moron, but it is not completely my fault. The problem is that there are TWO ECPs (Exchange Control Panels) involved when you are doing a cutover exchange migration. In the instructions, when they say "Select Manage My Organization > Users & Groups > E-Mail Migration > New", they don't say on WHICH ECP you are doing this. I assumed it was my Exchange 2010 ECP but apparently not. The documentation should be changed to make this 100% crystal clear.
