SDS setting up for Teams
Hi
we have a Office 365 Edu environment where we have a number of site collections for different schools.
We are planning to implement Teams where probably we have to use SDS to push csvs to create Classes etc which means in the background a lot of office 365 groups, site collections. I have couple of confusion in these:
1) while pushing the csv data using the Team Admin, what if there are multiple schools. Will it allow multiple set of csvs for multiple schools to be synced
2) how it will impact the existing users(teachers and students) who may be member of different site collections. The users may be synced and a same user might have two user ids because of the sync process. Its my assumption however is it correct.

Hi there,
1) School Data Sync is designed to have multiple schools within one set of files, you could also have multiple profiles, ie. one for each school, but that is not recommended.
2) While configuring the SDS profile you can choose to either create new users or match existing users, choose the latter option to avoid getting duplicates.
Please also have a look at the documentation with examples here, and my blog post on this subject at Teams.rocks.
If you need help with School Data Sync deployment I highly recommend Microsofts free offering available at aka.ms/sdssignup.
Best of luck!
