[@andrewmccallum5699]

Thanks Ragnar, very thorough walk through on how to migrate across tenants, extremely useful!

[@RagnarHeil]

thank you, Andrew!

[@andrewmccallum5699]

@@RagnarHeil Quest is one of my favourite & dependable companies to work with on M365 migrations, the way the tools & reports work (the granular options & audit level views ace), defo your videos & blogs plus tweets - make it a much enjoyed task when I actually do the migration work, each time I follow a new video, post etc, I check your blog site & it helps a great deal, thanks again Ragnar!

15:30 - unless I'm mistaken, it seems like you have a 50/50 chance in matching up the displayname in the tenant? In your demo with Adele, what if her displayname was "Vance, Adele" in the target which potentially it could be since it didn't find a '"Adele Vance". Would it then create a 2nd account in the target Tenant of 'Adele Vance" and now you have two Adele's in the target? I need clarification on that please. Danke from USA! I have a migration coming up and trying to fully understand the toolset. Tschuss!

[@RagnarHeil]

Custom matching is part of the product

Hello... thank you for a very informative video Do we need to open user accounts in the new tenant before migrating to the new tenant? Or does it create itself while transporting?

[@russellsanders7759]

@16:41 due to Covid 19 throttling things?

[@RagnarHeil]

yes.we have created many features due to throttling

[@swethagodi9649]

Thank you for this video. What permissions have you used for AD1 and AD58 tenant? Is it Global Administrator? or the permissions are automatically fetched?

[@nXgenR1140]

Hello... thank you for a very informative video... very helpful. I have two questions: 1) What about guest accounts... external users? I'm guessing they would need an account in the target tenant in order to do the mapping; 2) how are 'private' Team channels migrated?

[@RagnarHeil]

Hi Keith 1) yes, this matching can be done with a dedicated CSV mapping file as well 2) yes, private channels are migrated as well as private chats

Does the Quest tool has the sync capability, I'm trying the homedrive to onedrive migration and needs sync? when doing the MS teams migration the meeting links created in the source tenant not working in the destination tenant because of the UPN changes, does quest has a solution for this issue in MS teams migration ?

[@RagnarHeil]

1) we don't recommend running a sync job between file servers and OneDrive. Nevertheless you could run a scheduled migration job with our Tool Metalogix Essentials for Office 365. 2) In Quest OnDemand Migration Email portal, there is a feature called 'meeting link migration', you may want to try that one.

[@johndyson17]

@@RagnarHeil Thank you.

[@MrGambit714]

Great video. Why did you migrate the account again after migrating the Onedrive content ?

[@RagnarHeil]

Showing that Quest On Demand can migrate not only once. Many customers are requesting multiple migration runs

[@MrSameeKunta]

Hello Everone, is multi-Geo SharePoint teams migration is possible using on Demand Quest ? Is on Demand Quest Support multi-Geo ?

[@RagnarHeil]

yes, we do :-)

[@MrSameeKunta]

@@RagnarHeil thanks. any example if you have please do share, currently we are analyzing the impact of multi-geo migration using on Demand Quest tool.

[@MrSameeKunta]

@@RagnarHeil thank you ... Also another question is on Demand Quest Tool Support multi-Geo SharePoint and OneDrive Migration?

[@RagnarHeil]

Yes, SharePoint and Teams are also supported for multi Geo switch

[@RuaJefwa]

I am currently working on such a Migration and our goal is to do the incremental though we have not come across a tool that can support us accessing both source and target concurrently during and after the migration for like two weeks

[@RagnarHeil]

Incremental is supported with Quest On Demand

[@RuaJefwa]

@@RagnarHeil so i have tried the quest on demand and it apparently cannot map the license to the target tenant when i choose the license i am using the 30 day period license. what could be the issue

Hallo, vielen Dank für das Video! Ich plane in meinem Unternehmen ein Tenant Migration inkls. einem SharePoint basierten Intranet und Teams. Gibt es zufällig eine Übersicht, in der aufgeführt wird, welche Funktionen migriert werden können und welche nicht. Zum Beispiel: Teams Chats - ja/nein?; Microsoft Lists - ja/nein; Communication site ja/nein etc.? Viele Grüße!

[@RagnarHeil]

hallo Tobi, ja die Übersicht kann ich Dir gerne zusenden . Einfach mail an ragnar.heil - at - Quest.com

[@saurabhmishra75]

Hi Ragnar, Thanks for posting this informative content. Just a small question, 1.what are all prerequisite while migrate the teams from one tenant to other? 2.Is SharePoint site automatically migrated(which create automatically when we upload or create a document) when we try to migrate teams ? Thanks.

[@RagnarHeil]

@@saurabhmishra75 here you find an overview about requirements of Migration Account support.quest.com/de-de/technical-documents/on-demand-migration/current/administrator-guide

@@saurabhmishra75 yes, SharePoint Sites are created automatically

[@troller4jesus]

Would this work for some users splitting one their current tenant to another O365 tenant? What permissions would we need on the parent company side if we can’t have access to migrate their users and SharePoint sites?

[@RagnarHeil]

yes, you can split and select users of course. To add source and target tenant, you need global admin rights. Later this user can delegate to a Teams, OneDrive, Exchange or SharePoint Migration User.

Hi Ragnar, Thanks for this informative video. While performing mailbox migration from source tenant to target tenant it fails and I am getting below error. Could you please help to resolve?

Can we do migration without matching, or mapping, if I compare source and target and nothing is same, second can we map sharedmailbox, security groups, DL with CSV file mapping..

[@VikasKumar-cm3iv]

And what should be order of migration, user accounts,mailboxes,onedrives,dls, shared mailbox, security groups, SharePoint, teams, please share the correct order for migration..

Can you please let us know, if mfa enabled users can be migrated
