Exchange 2010 to Office 365 Remote Move Migration

Hi,

I’m currently trying to migrate from Exchange 2010 to Office 365, I have installed the hybrid configuration wizard and just tried to set up the first test migration but get the error ‘The connection to the server could not be completed’ the exchange server was behind a NetScaler but a new rule has been applied to bypass this.

I have confirmed that MRSProxyEnabled is set to True using Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | FL

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | FL

When testing with Test-MigrationServerAvailability I get Failed

That error messsage hints for a network issue, can you actually access the MRS endpoint externally?

Hi Vasil,

for OWA https://mail.sbs.co.uk is accessible externally via the load balancer which is doing SSL offloading, https://webmail.sbs.co.uk/EWS/mrsproxy.svc is locked down to only the Office 365 IP ranges.
