Power365

This section explains how to add a Microsoft 365 tenant and configure a Migration project using Power365. During project setup an Office 365 Global Administrator account is initially required to add each tenant to the project.

Setting up the Domain Move Project

Follow these steps to setup the Domain Move Project.

1. Log in to Power365.

2. Once the Binary Tree Power 365 module is loaded, click on the Tenant to Tenant icon in the main dash view.

   
   

3. Click the New Project button and bring up the project setup wizard

4. Provide a name and description for the project and click Next

5. Click on the New button to create a new environment or choose any existing environments from the list. Click Next once you have at least two environments selected.
   

   

    

6. Choose the source and target environments from the dropdown menu and click Next.
   

   

    

7. Configure the domain mapping for your project and click Next.
   

   

   Important Tip: Domain Mapping will be used to match objects and allows Power 365 to add the source domain to all matched target objects during the domain move.

    

8. Choose which objects would you like to discover from source and target environment, click Next.
   

   

    

9. Configure the attributes to use to match users and groups. Once complete, click Next.

    

   

   Important Tip: Multiple attributes can be selected Power 365 will evaluate each one until it finds a matching source and target object.  If more than one attribute is selected, the first attribute that matches is used.
   

10. Select type of objects you would like to create in the target when we cannot find a match and also choose if you would like to convert your Office 365 Groups to a Team.
    

    
    
    

11. Enter a Default password for the new users.
    

    
    Important Tip: Note that the password policy on the source must meet or exceed the policy on the target.
    

12. Verify if you would like to share calendar availability between source and target?

    
    
    

13. Copy the Directory Sync agent Registration URL and Registration Key and click Next. NOTE: this information can be obtained again after the project is configured.

    
    

     

14. Verify if you would like to share domains betweens tenants.

     

    

     

    Important Tip: If share domain option is disabled you would not be able to preform a domain move in Power365

     

15. Publish DNS TXT records to sign each email with DKIM signature.

    
    
    

16. Upload a SSL Certificate for each environment.  Power365 will ensure mail delivered during a domain move is always encrypted, secure and private by using this SSL Certificate.  Click Next once the certificates are uploaded.

    Important Tip: A single subject certificate with both private and public key must be used.

    
    

17. Review the project configuration settings and click Next

18. Enter an email address and click on Start Discovery to finish the project setup
