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?Migrating G suite to Office 365

Administrative Units - are they a possible solution in this case?
Hi, I'm looking at a situation where a company has two divisions, which we will call Corporate and Operations. They are geographically distinct as well as having significantly different requirements in terms of security, data access, mobile device control, applications requirements and other factors. At the current time, for mostly historical reasons, all IT is run from Operations, primarily based on a Microsoft 365 Tenancy. This isn't working well, and for a variety of reasons it seems it would be significantly preferable if the current Admins dealt with, and could only access, things related to Operations while new admins deal with Corporate. If any admin is going to have access to everything it needs to be Corporate (e.g. Operations admins should not be able to see Corporate emails, the reverse is less of an issue) A solution they are seriously considering is simply starting a new Microsoft 365 Tenancy for Corporate and then linking between them as required, possibly using a Multi Tenant Organization. The divisions appear to be distinct enough this could function quite well. They own several domains and apparently, email addresses are currently split divisionally to two of those domains. However, I have just come across Administrative units and wonder if an alternative might be to use those? I'm still on the learning curve for 365 so despite having a look at the documentation it's currently unclear to me what the powers and restrictions that can be assigned to the administrator of a given unit.
