Task

If you plan to move user mailboxes to the destination MDM domain, as a best

practice, consider moving the user mailboxes before you migrate user accounts.

Install a new BlackBerry Configuration Database, and install the new BlackBerry

Enterprise Server instances.

During the installation process, if the BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances

use the same SRP information as the source instances, do not verify the SRP

credentials, and do not start any BlackBerry Enterprise Server services except

for the BlackBerry Administration Service services.

In the destination BlackBerry Administration Service, create the groups, IT

policies, roles, and software configurations that you want to duplicate from the

source MDM domain.

If you enable bulk mode and configure custom default settings to apply to

individual user accounts (the IT policies, software configurations, and groups to

assign to user accounts), the destination BlackBerry Administration Service

must process the different settings for each user account. As a result, the

migration process might take longer than expected to complete.

If you enable bulk mode, it is a best practice to configure a single default setting

to apply to all user accounts. You can modify the IT policy, software

configuration, and group assignments using the BlackBerry Administration

Service after the migration is complete. If you want to assign custom default

settings to individual user accounts as part of the migration process, it is a best

practice to use live mode.

Back up the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
