Here is a use case:
We are planning to migrate our on-premises SharePoint 2013 (Client facing portal) to Office 365 and leverage Azure AD B2B (Guest Users)
Migration Requirements:
- The external user accounts need to be available at the destination to successfully map the content from the source
Challenge:
- If we create an external/guest user account in Azure AD, an invitation email goes out for account activation/acceptance of the terms/enrollment in MFA - this may confuse users as migration hasn't started yet and they won't have access to any sites in Office 365 at this point
Objective:
- I would like to create external user accounts silently (about 3,000), do the migration/map the content to the newly created accounts - send out an email to external clients about their account activation
- I would like to enable MFA for all the accounts for external users when they first login/activate the account
is this possible?

@Ronnie Saini As per the answer from @Prashant Gupta, you can create the users via PowerShell script, capture the redemption URL and then distribute the redemption URL to the users via another method.
We did exactly that. A few lessons we learned:
Hope this helps. Know that this is not a simple "fire and forget" activity, it requires a lot of reporting, follow-up and monitoring to ensure your users are not significantly impacted.
Another point - remember to set the password restrictions for the guest accounts to be the same as for your internal users, else you have two levels to maintain.

Does exist a script that will allow the creation of the guest user account having an excel file as a source (file1.csv), not sending the invite and create an excel file with inside "DisplayName, email address, reddem link into a target (file2.csv).
So we can use outlook later on with the outlook mail merge to send the email we would like to send with nice text picture and so on?
Kind regards
