Collaboration between tenants
If you require the tenants to be merged this is quite difficult. I have performed this a number of times and it requires 3rd party software.
Note there is currently NO migration path between tenants for Teams or Yammer
Only Exchange, OneDrive and Sharepoint data migration is possible.
Hi Mitch could you advise what 3rd party software you find works best. I have several clients I need to do this for and haven’t been. Able to get a good solution from Microsoft.
regards Matthew
BinaryTree do one (power365), BitTitan, SkyKick.
they all work in the same way using the same API's, the data migration is easy, the complexity is in the identities. If you want the identities to remain linked to on-prem AD then this is a challenge. Only BinaryTree and SkyKick do a user mapping from T2T.... BUT the user would become a "cloud" user in the destination and no longer linked with an on-premises identity.
My preference is to (in a merger) do a continuous synchronisation of the users, groups, contacts from source domain to target domain/AD (on-prem) using something like Binary Tree or Quest. These are then synchronised to the destination Azure AD.
It is not a simple task and is becoming more difficult/impossible with Teams as this stitches groups, data & identities from all over Office 365 so trying to reconstruct Teams in a different tenant is going to be a big headache.
Hi Mitch
thank you for the advice
Regards Matthew
