SharePoint Migration

On Demand Migration offers a fast and convenient way to transfer SharePoint content between Microsoft 365 tenants. SharePoint migration functionality requires additional licensing.

IMPORTANT: Before migrating any SharePoint sites, you must ensure all impacted accounts exist in the target tenant. Account matching or migration should be completed.

The Getting Started tile on the SharePoint migration Dashboard with Quick help helps you to prepare, start and perform all the steps to migrate your SharePoint sites. The basic SharePoint migration workflow consists of the following steps:

Step Description
1 Configure the SharePoint migration project defaults (optional)
2 Verify prerequisites are met
3 Discover sites (top-level sites) in the source tenant
4 Discover site contents like members, webs and lists (optional)
5 Map geo-locations (optional)
6 Map source sites to custom target sites (optional)
7 Match source sites to with existing target sites (optional)
8 Map Lists (optional)
9 Override migration defaults for specific migration tasks (if necessary)
10 Migrate site collections and their content
11 Monitor the progress and track issues

IMPORTANT: Quest recommends performing test and pilot migrations before starting the full-scale migration of the production environment. This helps you better plan the migration project and align the migration tasks with the organization requirements.

Caution: Finish all account migration tasks that are pending before starting the SharePoint migration.

What We Migrate

Migration limitations indicated below may not be an exhaustive list of limitations as some may appear in unique customer migration scenarios, or arise due to platform or legacy support restrictions. In some cases, a solution to a limitation may already be on the product roadmap.

NOTE: You can migrate files with a maximum size of 250 GB. Quest On Demand supports Shared with me panel functionality on the user's Office portal OneDrive pages for the documents and folders shared using SharePoint.

Limitations

  • Checked out status for files in document libraries is not migrated.
  • Currently checked out documents are not migrated. The last checked in version of the document is migrated. If the file has never been checked, no version of the file is migrated.
  • Reputation Settings for Community site migration are not supported
  • Reporting of offensive content setting for Community sites is not supported
  • Private views and personal sites are not migrated.
  • Classic web parts in classic wiki pages are not migrated. This may affect the home pages of older classic team sites (STS#0) where the home.aspx page is built on a Wiki page.
  • Assigned translators in Language settings for Communication site are not migrated
  • Comments on modern site pages are not migrated
  • Migration from an education tenant to another education tenant is not supported for education templates.
  • Migration of verified web parts is a best effort. A warning event will be posted for any site pages where an issue occurred while migrating web parts. The warning event will identify the web part and possible cause of the problem. Please review the identified web parts on the site pages and correct as needed.
  • OnDemand Migration for SharePoint migrates the content starting with the root site and then proceeds to any sub-sites. As a result:
    • Links to SharePoint lists, libraries and sub-sites that have not been migrated to the target will not be added to the Quick Launch menu.
    • Navigation links and links in web parts to SharePoint content in sub-sites cannot be updated if the linked sub-site has not been migrated.
  • Migration of the Master Page Gallery is not supported because active master pages cannot be updated or overwritten during the migration. Custom master pages should be manually added to the Master Page Gallery in the target tenant and set as the new master page.
  • Some Pages library files like Home.aspx, About.aspx and PageNotFoundError.aspx, and the Welcome Page setting cannot be migrated if the sites are built with the following features or templates. You must manually move these files and reconfigure the Welcome page setting if necessary.
    • The SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure site collection feature is activated in the source.
    • The site is based on the Wiki site template.
    • The site is based on Publishing Portal templates.
  • Managed navigation is based on term sets. The term set setting for Managed Navigation for the Publishing Portal is not migrated. The term set is set to the default on the target. You must manually update the term set setting in the target tenant if the selected term set setting in the source is no longer the default.
  • There could be duplication in navigation links because links are managed from the site UI and from a Publishing Portal specific Navigation site setting.
  • Hub settings for sites located in non-central regions of a multi-geo tenant cannot be migrated. The hub and spoke relationship for sites in non-central regions must be built manually after the site migrations are complete.

See the SharePoint Migration Considerations for details on remigration behavior or if the target site or sub-site exists before the migration is started.

 

Considerations

Your target tenant might already host SharePoint sites (site collections) or sub-sites created before the migration. See the table below to see the migration action that will be used depending on the existing site properties and the selected migration options.

Target site (sub-site) exists Clear existing site collection option is selected Migration action
Yes No Merge, all supported properties will be overwritten using source settings
Yes Yes Create and migrate
No - Create and migrate

Merging and remigration considerations

  • Sub-sites based on unsupported site templates are skipped unless they are remapped.
  • System settings including site columns, content types etc. from the source will overwrite settings that were changed on the target.
  • New site structure including list item and docs that only exist on the target remains unchanged.
  • If a new list item with the same name is added on both source and target, the source item will be migrated and added as a separate item (i.e. target will have two items with identical names).
  • If a new document with the same name is added on both the source and target, the migration of the source item will be skipped, and the warning that the item already exists on the target is reported. Document libraries only allow one document per name.
  • Conflict resolution setting on the List Options step of the New SharePoint Migration Task wizard controls how list items and docs (same name and ID) that were previously migrated in this project are remigrated to the target.
  • Versions for remigrated List item and files will be removed and updated based on the settings selected in the Version Options step of the New SharePoint Migration Task wizard
