Actually, using the Admin account, you can migrate email without accessing each individual account.

In this example, we would license Bit Titan or CloudMigrator, as these tools will get the email, calendar, and contact data from Google Apps and can import the data into Exchange.

There is a cost, but it will be less expensive and more accurate than moving accounts manually and individually.

Interesting information Allen, wasn't aware of these tools.
The MX record update is still required though, regardless of the chosen migration solution.

Allen Falcon

Yes, you will need to change MX records.

You can configure dual delivery during the transition, as well, to ensure no loss of data.

Many thanks for your valuable tips and how can i test it the entire setup without disturbing the existing setup ie have to show case it as a proof of concept using two or three users as live.

Also, allen could you please shed more light into it how to configure dual delivery.
