need Help migrating users mailbox from Go-daddy-M365 to Microsoft 365
We are currently planning a staged migration from our mail users from GoDaddy-M365 to M365, we have critical users' mailboxes, I tried to search on many sites, but could not find any relevant documen...
So I found a little nifty trick with this the other day where you don't actually need to migrate from GoDaddy M365 -> M365. You can defederate your tenant from GoDaddy and regain complete control of it, go in and purchase your license from Microsoft, and then cancel them with GoDaddy.
When I last did this, I still didn't actually keep the tenant around, but based on what I read it should work. It at least makes it much easier to get your custom domain out of that tenant and into your new tenant.
Here is the process I found (and tried) for defederating from GoDaddy - https://tminus365.com/defederating-godaddy-365/
All that aside, if you do still go the migration route, I've never seen it done in a staged manner, I've always had to do it in one shot.
