Groups: Tenant to tenant migration

After a merge we are in the process of moving as much content as possible from one tenant to another. The process a moving a unified group looks easy. Evaluate which groups should be migrated (and...

    Groups use special forms of mailboxes that not all migration tools even reveal let alone access... That is my warning.

     

    Just as an example, try using the Get-Mailbox cmdlet to list group mailboxes. They don't exist. You have to use Get-UnifiedGroup. But you can feed a group mailbox id into Get-MailboxStatistics... So it's inconsistent, hence the warning.

Just a quick note: OneNote is part of SharePoint, so it should move with the SharePoint content migration.

Hi.

 

I just create a q like this, can someone help me?

This is my scenario:

I have 100 mailbox in Office365 (online) and I want to move them to another Office365 (online). I want to keep my current email (Javier@source.com) and my new email (Javier@target.com). 
How can I do it?. I´m trying do it with Admin Office365 portal like "migratin from Online" but I´m not sure. 
By other hand, i have to give permission to my admin usr (the user that has permissons to migrate) in the endpoint. How can I do it?

      BitTitan might think they are the best tool on the market, and they can certainly move mailboxes around. However, Groups are not mailboxes. A group mailbox is an important part of a group, but there are other resources - SharePoint team site, plan, team, notebook, Power BI workspace, and so on that need to be moved along with the mailbox. I have seen no utility that is able to do this so far.

        We are the best tool for tenant to tenant out there. Do you do everything? No. But unfortunately no one does. It has to do with the fantastic pace Microsoft has putting new workloads out there and the adoption of those workloads. We don't do Teams (yet!) but we definitely do Office 365 groups in an automated and effective way. i.e Do you know any tool out there that does Public folders to Office 365 groups? Apart from ours I don't. I know what groups are, I have the luck of being a Microsoft MCSM. Not the typical "marketing oriented" bot posting here that you see many tools using.
        And finally I absolutely agree with you in your last point. No utility is able to do everything that needs to be done in a T2T (PowerBI is just another example). The dev effort to keep up with this new workloads and its complexity from a migration perspective is huge, to say the least.

    Hi Javier,

     

    Depending on your requirements, you will need an external migration tool to achieve this. I can propose you to check Cloudiway migration platform. This tool uses impersonation rights so you don't have to manage extra roles and permissions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7DfRJPeZ3s
