Exam MS-203 topic 2 question 12 discussion

B is the correct answer. You don't want the migration to actually start until the weekend. By using the -StartAfter switch, you can set the migration to start on the weekend. You would then finalize the migration Monday morning using the Complete-MigrationBatch command If you selected C, the batch would start immediately and wouldn't satisfy the requirement of running over the weekend. You could use a combination of B and C to have the batch start on the weekend and automatically complete Monday morning, however, B is the "first step" to satisfy the requirements.

C seems like the best answer, but it seems to be missing a component. It needs to run on the weekend, so this would work if you ran this command on the weekend and not before. The CompleteAfter parameter specifies a delay before the batch is completed. Data migration for the batch will start, but completion won't start until the date/time you specify with this parameter. So setting it to complete Monday is correct. A. A. NO - Create a batch migration and select the Automatically complete the migration batch check box. - Starts it automatically, with no complete time B. NO - Run the New-MigrationBatch cmdlet and specify the StartAfter parameter. - would allow it to start when setup, but would complete it when it's done. C. BEST BUT NOT PERFECT - Run the New-MigrationBatch cmdlet and specify the CompleteAfter parameter. Seems like best answer, but is missing the component to start on the weekend. D. NO - Create a script that moves most of the mailboxes on Friday at 22:00 and the remaining mailboxes on Monday at 09:00. - not correct

This cmdlet will create a new migration batch, and the migration process will start after the specified date and time. By scheduling the migration to start during a weekend when the company's Internet traffic is lowest, you can minimize the impact on end users. New-MigrationBatch -Local -Remote -RemoteHostName "<ExchangeOnlineEndpoint>" -RemoteCredential (Get-Credential) -TargetDeliveryDomain "<ExchangeOnlineDomain>" -StartAfter "<DateTime>" Run the following command to create a new migration batch and specify the StartAfter parameter to schedule the start of the migration during a weekend when the company's Internet traffic is lowest

Question is a tricky one, it says the bulk of the data must be done when network less busy, so you'd then do -StartAfter and select Friday evening. But.... if you have larger mailboxes, you run the risk of them not completing in time for Monday, so -completedafter would make sense as it will move the majority of the data over, then complete the final few percent after the date you choose in time for Monday.

I would start the batch on Saturday and specify -CompleteAfter.

C seems like the best answer

The question give the scenario but the question is "What should you do first?" So thinking B is the correct answer?

The StartAfter parameter specifies a delay before the data migration for the users within the batch is started. The migration will be prepared, but the actual data migration for the user won't start until the date/time you specify with this parameter CompleteAfter Data migration for the batch will start, but won't complete until [date specified here]. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/new-migrationbatch?view=exchange-ps

The CompleteAfter parameter specifies a delay before the batch is completed. Data migration for the batch will start, but completion won't start until the date/time you specify with this parameter. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/new-migrationbatch?view=exchange-ps

B is correct, it wont end the batch automatically

on exam 11-27-21 answer A was duplicated with select and unselect the auto complete instead of answer C

Given answer is correct based on example 8:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/new-migrationbatch?view=exchange-ps

Be careful with this question in the exam as I believe the test may have slightly different versions. Pay attention to whether the requirement is MUST start at weekend or (the version I saw) whether the migration switch MUST be completed manually Monday morning. So its possible there are two questions which are quite similar, but with different requirements and therefore answers.
