Groups: Tenant to tenant migration
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.
Hi.
I just create a q like this, can someone help me?
This is my scenario:
Hi Javier,
you can use the best T2T migration tool in the market. Check here for more information: https://help.bittitan.com/hc/en-us/articles/115008258788-Office-365-to-Office-365-Migration-Guide-While-Changing-the-Domain-Name
Look at your inbox I will ping you my contact in case you need any technical help.
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.Public Folders to Office 365 Groups - Absolutely! https://www.quadrotech-it.com/qt-files/Public-Folder-Brochure.pdf
As to saying that you're the best tool... well, I guess that's entirely in the eye of the beholder. I haven't yet tested BitTitan's ability to move Office 365 Groups between tenants to ensure that everything is transferred properly, so I cannot say. What I would advise people who need this capability is to contact the vendors in this space and test the software that is available to decide themselves what is the best tool in their environment.
Hi all.
Thanks for quick answers.
My scenario is this: migrating 100 inbox like javier@source.com to javier@target.com. Both ones, my office365 and the endpoint are office 365 online. I want I keep both email accounts.
I wanted to use the panel control admin, If I could.
Is free the tool you mentioned?.
Thanks again
Microsoft said (at Ignite 2017) that they will support tenant to tenant mailbox moves. In other words, you create a migration endpoint in one tenant that points to the other and can then schedule migration batches to move mailboxes from one to the other. This is what I think you want, but while Microsoft has said they will deliver this functionality, I have seen no formal announcement of its availability. This will be free; third party software is not.
However, when you move a mailbox, you do not keep it in the source tenant. Why would you want to keep it?
