Cross Tenant Migration licensing
Hello, I'm planning a native cross-tenant migration for several shared mailboxes that have archives enabled. I’m looking to confirm if it is necessary to temporarily convert these to user mailboxes ...
Hi IT_Bee, for shared mailboxes with archives, I would not assume they can move cleanly without temporary licensing. In many migrations the safe path is to temporarily convert the shared mailbox to a user mailbox, assign the needed Exchange license so the archive is active and eligible, complete the migration, then convert it back after validation. Test one mailbox first and confirm both primary and archive data before doing the full batch.
