365 Tenant To Tenant Migration
I have a tenant who is not set up to be GCC compliant. We have created another tenant that is now GCC compliant and need to move the tenants from the original tenant to the newly created GCC compliant tenancy. I am not sure how we can go about doing this with the destination and origination having the same domain name. I have created the users with the onmicrosoft accounts, instead of the .org users, but we still have the issue of migration. How do we move these users? What is the expected down time for their domain if we use a dummy domain? I am very concerned this is going to result in a massive loss of data.
Google workspace migration - Automatic doesn't download the JSON while creating the migration endpoi
I recently came across an issue where the google workspace migration wasn't downloading the Json file. After a lot of struggle, I figured out that google by default blocks service account key creation. To resolve this, follow the below mentioned steps 1) login to https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin and select the root org 2) Add Organisation Policy Administrator role 3) Click on Organization policies and then search for "Disable service account key creation" and set the enforcement to OFF. 4) Now you should be able to download the JSON.
Migrating from Google Workspace with Multiple Domains
I am interested in switching from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 for Business. For context, I just use this personally, but enjoy the custom email and control over my account. I want to switch over because the only product that I use is Gmail, and pay for an additional Microsoft 365 subscription. While I won't be saving any money, or the savings will be negligible, it would be nice to have everything in one ecosystem. I've looked over how to migrate just one domain, and that seems fairly straight forward. However, I am wondering how feasible it would be to transfer multiple domains, and to switch my primary domain. Below is the structure of my current Google Workspace domains: - domain1.com | This is used as my primary domain that I log into. Also serves as my primary email. - domain2.com | Used as an additional email alias for different purposes. Not used for logging in. - domain3.com | Used as an additional email alias for different purposes. Not used for logging in. If I wanted to keep domain1.com as my primary domain, I assume that I would do the standard migration and then add domain2.com and domain3.com as additional email aliases. However, I want to switch my primary domain in Microsoft 365 to domain2.com. Is there any way to migrate emails from Google Workspace that's on domain1.com --> domain2.com via Microsoft 365 and make domain2.com the primary domain? I know that this is a lot, so please ask for clarification if needed. Thanks!Microsoft Tenant-to-Tenant Migration Orchestrator
Microsoft has launched a tenant-to-tenant migration orchestrator solution in public preview to migrate mailboxes, OneDrive accounts, and Teams chat between tenants. ISVs have been active in the T2T space for a long time. They probably won’t welcome the new Microsoft offering, but at least the migration orchestrator legitimizes the concept of tenant-to-tenant migration. https://office365itpros.com/2025/12/19/tenant-to-tenant-orchestrator/
Tenant Migration
Our parent company wants to migrate us to their O365 tenant. We would keep our Brand and domain name, but the goal of the tenant move is: - to allow people to work seamlessly in Teams (currently, we need to Switch orgs to access our parent company Team sites) to chat, share files - to allow seamless interaction with Outlook (free/busy, calendar access) - seamless access to Sharepoint sites across orgs So far, we have been using Guest Accounts to access their Teams or Sharepoint sites. Challenges on our end: - we have an on-prem AD synchronizing to Azure AD and our own set of conditional policies and SSO applications for many SaaS tools. The parent company is looking at migrating our AD domain to their AD as a sub-domain - we have enrolled our laptops to Intune/Autopliot using Azure AD Join (no hybrid join) - we have Azure File shares joined to AD using NTFS permissions When migrating to another tenant, at which stage should the AD migration happen? Can we keep administering our domain once the migration is done (Mail flow rules, policies, Intune,...)? Is the migration possible at all in this scenario or would a domain name change would be required?
How to convert from a GoDaddy Office 365 Email Essentials account to a full M365 Business Standard?
I am currently supporting a client who is using a GoDaddy Office 365 Email Essentials account, that they purchased along with their domain registration. They now have need of the full suite of services offered with a Microsoft 365 Business Standard account. However, it's my understanding that the GoDaddy tenants are a specialized product that isn't truly a native Microsoft 365 account. Is this true? If so what would the requirements be to migrate the user's account to a full Microsoft 365 Business Standard account?

A new feature of the Quest On Demand migration suite supports the tenant-to-tenant migration of Exchange and SharePoint content protected by sensitivity labels.
