O365 Migration

Scenario is  a company with 500+ users , migrating to O365 from E2K10. Everything is fine, Migrations going on . Only 10% completed.  But now a wing from the company 120 uses and forming a separate company.   What is the easy way to migrate these 120 users to cloud.

 

Limitations - 1. They do not want to buy new Servers. So we cannot setup a Domain Controller on-prem for creating a new domain.

 

2. Half of the clients still on Win 7

 

3. Their accounts and data's are still in the orginal on-prem servers.

 

 

All inputs are welcome..

  • Hi Biju,

     

    Network upload could be an option for you:

      I think the Network upload is to migrate pst files.   I am looking is to spun off 120 users from the existing on-prem servers to cloud.  And these users are located in different offices and all have Internet access. they don't want to create a domain controller in on

      prem.

        So you want to provision 120 users to cloud in Hybrid environment. Use Azure AD connect tool to do so.

  • Hi Biju,

     

    The best way is to use a Third party tool and contract a partner with experience with this type of migrations to other tenant.
