Hi!

Does this upgrade have an option to switch geo as well?

 

Example, company is EU based and the the tenant is in EU, but the data is in the default US Yammer location. While moving to native mode with Microsoft, is it possible to switch the Yammer geo from US to EU with existing content for compliance reasons? The previous experience was to have a clean EU Yammer from MS support, while losing all data, unless willing to invest to a data transfer project from 3rd party.

 

Another question, what if the company hasn´t aligned networks and the data is currently in Yammer network that is not the tenant´s default network? Will this upgrade wipe all the data in the same way as the normal network alignment tool would do? 

 

Thanks in advance!
