(OFFICE 365 MIGRATION WIZARD - CONTINUTED)
1.) Import CSV file of users to migrate (see attached sample .csv).
2.) Complete the wizard


(MIGRATION STATUS OPTIONS)
Stop migration: Stop the migration of mailboxes. After the batch is stopped, the status is changed to Stopped.
Resume migration: Resume the running of a migration batch that was paused and has a status of Stopped. If there are errors for a migration batch, you can restart it with this command, and Microsoft 365 or Office 365 will attempt to migrate the mailboxes that failed.
Edit Batch: Edit an existing migration batch. You can change the finalization semantics of batches that support finalization. You can also change the migration endpoint used for the migration batch.
Approve Migration Batch: For a batch scored as Poor, approving the migration allows you to complete all migrations in the batch with a score of Perfect, Good, or Investigate, but will not approve any migration in the batch with a score of Poor. If the migration fails with a grade of Poor, you cannot force the migration to succeed.
Finalize Migration Batch: Each mailbox in the migration batch runs a final incremental synchronization. Configures the user's Microsoft Outlook profile to point to the new target domain. Converts the source mailbox to a mail-enabled user in the source domain.
Delete: Delete a migration batch after you verify that all mailboxes in the migration batch have been successfully migrated. Verify also that mail is being routed directly to cloud-based mailboxes after you've configured your MX record to point to Microsoft 365 or Office 365. When you delete a migration batch, Microsoft 365 or Office 365 cleans up any records related to the migration batch and removes it from the list.

Sonicwall / Adding Secondary Subnets with Static ARP
March 09, 2022, 03:59:25 PM

(ADDING SECONDARY SUBNETS WITH STATIC ARP)
The Static ARP feature allows for secondary subnets to be added on other interfaces, and without the addition of automatic NAT rules.

Adding a Secondary Subnet using the Static ARP Method
1. Add a 'published' static ARP entry for the gateway address that will be used for the secondary subnet, assigning it the MAC address of the firewall interface to which it will be connected.
2. Add a static route for that subnet, so that the firewall regards it as valid traffic, and knows to which interface to route that subnet's traffic.
3. Add Access Rules to allow traffic destined for that subnet to traverse the correct network interface.
4. Optional: Add a static route on upstream device(s) so that they know which gateway IP to use to reach the secondary subnet.
Consider the following network example:
To support the above configuration, first create a published static ARP entry for 192.168.50.1, the address which will serve as the gateway for the secondary subnet, and associate it with the appropriate LAN interface. From the Network > ARP page, select the Add button in the Static ARP Entries section, and add the following entry:

The entry will appear in the table.

Navigate to the Network > Routing page, and add a static route for the 192.168.50.0/24 network, with the 255.255.255.0 subnet mask on the X3 Interface.
To allow the traffic to reach the 192.168.50.0/24 subnet, and to allow the 192.168.50.0/24 subnet to reach the hosts on the LAN, navigate to the Firewall > Access Rules page, and add appropriate Access Rules to allow traffic to pass.
