I have not heard any updates on the status of the EX to ES1 Migration tool in the past while. However, I do know they are aiming to release it in late 2nd Quarter possibly 3rd quarter.
There are a number of variables and checks that need to be performed to qualify the utility that could cause the above dates to be pushed back.
It is strongly recommended to contact your account rep to obtain the latest information regarding this subject.
I too am very interested in the release of this tool. As it stands, we are running both EX and MS1 and would love to save costs by retiring the EX server which right now serves as nothing more than an ODBC SQL connection. It's tying up our DX licensing efforts. We were told second quarter 2010. That's a broad target but hopefully we can hit it.
From what I've been informed is that the tool is still on pace for end of Q2. However, until a General Availability announcement is made this date can change should testing warrent change.
Additional information could be obtained through your account team.
The migration tool is being used by EMC Professional Services and is offered as a service. The migration service is now available, and contacting your ASR should get you started on engaging Professional Services for this offering.
