Hey Guys,
We're in the process of migrating our distribution groups to Office 365. We already have them sync'd to the cloud but have decided (for a number of reasons) to simply migrate them to the cloud completely. (mastered on office 365)
We're breaking this into 2 parts:
- Migrate Non-Nested Groups,
- Migrate Nested Groups. My question really applies to both.
I found this script here: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/PowerShell-Script-to-Move-5c3cd668 its an old script but definitely works.
The script works this way:
- Copies all settings of a group you specify to a temp group (creates a temp group)
- you then remove the group from AD Connect run the sync process
- You then finalize the group, which means it basically takes the "temp" group and renames it to the original name of the group.
The only question I have is this, when the script renames the temp group to the perm group, it prepends the SamAccountName with Cloud- for every group it migrates.
Do you think that will be an issue? It does not affect anything that I can find, I realize if this were an all onprem environment, then it could very well be an issue. But since this is the cloud, i am not 100%.
Thanks,
Robert
