Legacy Data Migration Service will no longer support migrating data from Microsoft Exchange on-premises servers after May 31, 2025. Use Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Exchange (GWMME) instead.
Beginning May 31, 2025, the legacy Data Migration Service will no longer support migrating email, calendar, and contact data from Microsoft Exchange on-premises servers (e.g., Exchange 2010, 2013, or 2016). Admins will not be able to start new migrations after May 31, 2025 – migrations that are in progress will continue until completion. Instead, admins can use the Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Exchange (GWMME) data migration tool to perform these migrations. We highly recommend all admins to start leveraging Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Exchange as soon as possible.
