As far as I can see SharePoint Migration Tool is user driven, not admin tool for moving user's folders to OD
Or did I miss something?

    Christian Taveras , Using SPMT , can we copy the network share folders to users OneDrive folders from backend without user interaction? I checked the tool and when ruIn the tool with global admin account, I am not able to give the destination as Users OD folder( URL) as it throwing access denied error. When I searched , I see information that not even Global Admins can access users OD personal folders due to privacy restrictions. We have 1000+ users using a network share as homedrive ( mapped network folder) and requirement is to move the date to users OD silently without user interaction.
