Before you begin the migration, ensure that the cloud ENS server can access the Exchange server. To verify the access, permit two way communication between the ENS cloud server and the Exchange server.

When you migrate from the ENS on-premises server to the cloud server, update the following Boxer profile configuration in the Workspace ONE UEM console Boxer app settings:

  • Update the ENSLinkAddress in the appropriate cloud URL.

  • Update the ENSAPIToken with the token provided for cloud.

Note: To migrate from FedRAMP ENS on-premises server to the cloud server, you must update the AMER Federal URL. Contact VMware Support to receive the ENSAPIToken. VMware provides the API token to activate the ENS service.

During migration, the users must unregister from the on-premises ENS server and migrate to the cloud ENS server. After all users migrate to the cloud server, you can shutdown the ENS on-premises server.

All users must resubscribe their devices after migrating from on-premises ENS to cloud ENS. When a new Boxer profile is pushed to the device, Boxer sends a new register device request to the ENS cloud based on the updated ENSLinkAddress URL.

Note: If users are unable to unsubscribe from the previous ENS server, that is the on-premises ENS server, then users might start receiving duplicate notifications for the new emails. Therefore, you must deactivate the on-premises ENS server to ensure users are not receiving duplicate notifications.
