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?

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. This might not seem a big deal, but it’s the first time that a migration product has been able to automatically move protected files and messages from one tenant to another, including files protected by sensitivity labels with user-defined permissions. https://office365itpros.com/2025/05/21/sensitivity-labels-t2t-migration/
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.
Domain is on Godaddy but email is hosted by Gmail
I purchased our domains through Godaddy and that is where they are still registered, however, the email is hosted by Gmail. My office wishes to migrate everything to Microsoft 365. We only have 2 users so it should be easy but I am concerned that having the hosting split as it is will create issues. One of my users has massive psts files and uses Outlook as his home for everything. Currently it is all on his desktop and connects to Gmail through imap. The other user logs into Gmail directly and keeps no email on her desktop. We have no file servers. Both users keep all their files on their desktop. I'm not too worried about the files. We can migrate them later. It's the email that has me concerned. Can you tell me what I should do to make sure we have a seamless migration?Article on Migration of file share to SharePoint Site

Adding Proxy Addresses in AD Before Tenant-to-Tenant Migration Cutover
We're in the process of migrating users from another M365 tenant into our own, which is synced with on-prem AD. Before the cutover, we'd like to add the proxy addresses from the source tenant to our AD and have them sync to the cloud once the domain is added to our M365 tenant. Would this work as expected, or are there any potential issues to be aware of?
