NOTE: The ‘Remote mailbox migration (RemoteMailbox.ps1)’ script has been
provided as a sample script only, to illustrate the steps required, and should
not be used as-is in a production situation without modification and enhancement. The use of security credentials within a script in clear text should never
be considered appropriate or secure. In testing this script, care and consideration should be given to the authentication and use of credentials, and clear
text credentials should not be left in the script once testing is complete.
