Migrating home folders to OneDrive for Business
- Saw this, this is a no go, I dont want to rely on user to do this hence copying the Home DIR on the back end and forcing a cut off date.
We migrated 7000 users using this approach. Our key concern was the bandwidth required the next morning when they come in a start syncing back the files you migrated, although today with files on demand it wouldn't be a concern.
We used ShareGate's powershell modules to script the move, and when we were done we set their previous space to be read only, then a month later we removed the share, and 3 months later we deleted it.
it took about 5 months to complete the job.
- @steven, Where can I get that Powershell module ?
and, does the ShareGate Module cost the license?
I want to migrate all users home DIR sitting on a local Network share to their 1 drive for BIZ.
However I want to do this on the back end. with 300 users I want to schedule a group at a time. THis way i can give them a cut off date as to when to start using 1 drive for Biz and disable their local home dir.
