Hello Georg, 
 Happy New Year to you too! 
 I do apologize for the late reply. If you would like to change the names of the Notes groups as part of the migration, you have two options: 
 1.) Rename the groups in Notes, then run the MNE Export Notes Directory process, so that MNE is made aware of the name changes. 
 2.) In the MNE Migration Manager, go to the Export Notes Directory screen and click the "Export objects to TSV..." button. From here, you can open this TSV file in Excel, narrow it down to group objects and re-name them as required. You can then save this TSV and only include the group objects that you are planning to modify in the TSV file. Then use the "Import objects from TSV..." button in the MNE Migration Manager to import this TSV file. The name changes will now have been made in the MNE database, without having to change the group names in Notes. 
 Please let me know if you have any additional questions or need any additional clarification.

Hello Georg, 
 
 Thank you for posting to the Migrator for Notes to Exchange (MNE) forum. I understand you have questions about migrating Notes Mail-in Databases to shared mailboxes in Exchange. 
 
 The following KB article describes a fairly new parameter in MNE that will escalate Notes Manager/Author rights to "Full Access" rights in Exchange:

 Outside of the process above, MNE typically only grants Exchange "delegate" rights. Here is a link to the MNE Pre-Migration Planning Guide that discusses the migration of Notes ACLs to Exchange further:
