Have you followed the guidance to ensure that basic authentication is enabled on the powershell virtual directory?

Are you setting up the session by hand using basic auth and the same url?

First off, I didn't use my local Exchange server. All user mailboxes were migrated off, exchange hybrid never configured, old connectors removed. It was only in place as a way for the help desk to modify groups via a GUI using Exchange Web Console on the old server (hence the project that led me down this road). But I figured this would be a good time to share my "wrapper" scripts I made to use the module. Maybe it will help?

I've used the last few versions of Tim's module on different machines with my "wrapper" and it seems to be working for me. It's rudimentary and probably has some fluff that I took from my previous attempts at creating Powershell Scripts, which I now know how much of an amateur I am after seeing Tim's scripting!

I run from a member server in the domain where the source groups are located. My AADC server is in a different forest (across AD Trust). I first ran on a DC in the source domain, then another member server, and another. I use the following two scripts to do my multiple group migrations.

The first is Prepare-Migration.ps1. This script installs and updates modules as well as sets connection variables. I have a section at the top where you can hard code variable defaults. You are then prompted for everything. The only thing I don't have built into the script is the generation and setup of the certificate with O365 for PS authentication but the instructions are in there commented out.

I have a second script I use called Perform-Migration.ps1. This script actually performs the migration. It will search for the OU name specified, get all distribution groups from that OU, and then feed into Tim's migration module. This script also has a section for hard coding default values. If you've got lots of nested groups, you will have to rerun them multiple times to catch all the nested children.

To run, I'll open a new PowerShell window and run the first script with a dot space to keep the variables in session: . .\Prepare-Migration.ps1

I run the second script .\Perform-Migration.ps1 so the variable values are not set in the current session. Otherwise, if you ran like the Prepare script and you moved onto another group or reran to catch nested groups that failed before, the existing values would be used.

Thank you Tim for this awesome module! I successfully finished a major part of my migration project with just under 900 distribution groups used across 15 countries.

Timothy, thank you! Basic auth was indeed disabled for the powershell Virtual Directory. I think that was my final hurdle. Though I still am having errors, I am going to try and figure it out before I ask for more direction as I am sure you are quite busy.

[timmcmic]

Feel free to send the logs over and we can see where they're erroring.
