A client of mine is asking about migrating his domain (approx. 300 users) out of a bigger tenant with several thousand users into his own tenant. This is an educational institute with students, teacher and administration.
Teams is key in that organisation. Sharepoint is less used, but still there are sites. Exchange, of course and and a few additional 3P services linked in.
I am looking for advice:
Any pointer is more than welcome.
Over the last five years, I managed several Office 365 tenants, using the respective Admin Centers or sometimes Powershell. But I have never attempted such a big migration so far.
I do have my first session with the client the day after tomorrow. At least I would like to have a rough idea what I need to look at on this current tenant.
Thanks a lot
Regards

Hi @Joe Stocker ,
Thanks for the pointers. I will have a look.
Did you perform the discovery only with those tools?
Office 365 can be overwhelming, even for me doing Administration since years. In that new clients tenant, nobody ever thought about restricting the use of O365 Apps, tools, functions or even considered security groups and such. So there's a lot of "let's try this nice App and then forget about it again". That leaves stuff laying around.
Migrating that chaos as such is not advisable. I told the client, but he does not (yet) realize what a migration to a new tenant will require. To say the truth, realistically, me neither...
