Discovering Teams and Groups

Every team is associated with a Microsoft 365 Group, but there are groups that are not associated with teams. In this topic, the term team means a Microsoft Team and includes its associated group, and the term group means a Microsoft 365 Group that is not associated with a team.

NOTE: This topic explains the process to discover both teams and groups. If you want to discover only teams, see Discovering Teams. If you want to discover only groups that are not related to teams, see Discovering Groups.

Managing Groups with Collections

Migrating large numbers of groups requires careful planing. The groups could belong to different offices and geographical locations or sensitive departments. Migrating groups of Finance or Legal departments require special care. Organize the groups into collections to make large group lists more manageable.

Working with the Collection Dashboard

The Collection Dashboard shows the collection-specific summary, allows you to see group added to it, create tasks for them, and monitor the progress of tasks.

  • To view the collection dashboard for an existing collection
    1. Log in to Quest On Demand and choose an organization if you have multiple organizations.
    2. From the navigation pane, click Migration to open the My Projects list.

Step 1: Prepare the CSV file

NOTE: CSV file names with non-ASCII characters are not supported. Teams in the CSV that have not been discovered cannot be added to a collection.

Use the format shown below to prepare the CSV file. The minimal set of columns required are shown.

TIP: You can export the selected groups to a CSV file and then add the Collection column and retain the Source MailNickname column. All other columns in the exported CSV file will be ignored so you can remove those columns if you want.

  • Collection - Column header for the collection name
  • Source MailNickname - Email alias of the M365 group. You can get the Source MailNickname property of the teams when you export groups to a CSV file. Source MailNickname values are case-sensitive.

Step 2: Import the CSV file

To add groups from a CSV file to an existing collection from the Teams Collection dashboard:

This is a two-step process as described below:

Step 1: Prepare the CSV file

NOTE: CSV file names with non-ASCII characters are not supported. Groups in the CSV that have not been discovered cannot be added to a collection.

Use the format shown below:

MailNickName - Email alias of the M365 group. You can get the MailNickName property of the groups when you export groups to a CSV file. MailNickName values are case-sensitive.

Exporting Groups

To export groups to a comma-separated values (CSV) file:

  1. Click Teams from your migration project.
  2. Click the M365 Groups tab. From the M365 Groups List View select the groups you want to export.
  3. From the M365 Groups List View select More and then select Export.
  4. Open the CSV file by extracting it from the ZIP file that is downloaded to your computer.

The exported data contain the following information:

  • Group Name - source Microsoft 365 group name.
  • Workflow - (deprecated) the most recent operation performed on the Microsoft 365 group.
  • Created - date and time the Microsoft 365 group record was created
  • Target Group Name - suggested target team name that will be provisioned in the target tenant
  • Source MailNickname - alias for the associated Microsoft 365 Group. This value will be used for the mail enabled object and will be used as PrimarySmtpAddress for this Microsoft 365 Group. The value must be unique across your tenant.
  • Last Operation Description - description of the last operation performed on this group.

Provisioning Groups

Before you start, verify that you have discovered all the Microsoft 365 groups without teams. Make sure that all accounts that are members of these groups, have been discovered and matched with accounts in the target tenant. Group members are not added to groups in this step. Use the migration task to migrate group membership.

Considerations

A Group Map task will be automatically created in the Accounts and User Data migration workspace of the project. The purpose of this task is to match the M365 group accounts so that the On Demand Migration for SharePoint service can use the mapping for membership migration.

Starting the provisioning task

  1. Log in to Quest On Demand and choose an organization if you have multiple organizations.
  2. From the navigation pane, click Migration to open the My Projects list.
  3. Create a new project or open an existing project.
  4. Click the Teams tile, or click Open from the Teams tile to open the Teams dashboard.
  5. Click theM365 Groups tab.
  6. Select one or more groups from the Groups List View.
  7. Click Provision. The New Groups Provisioning Task wizard starts. Each step is described below:
  8. Provision Options

    These options control the actions of the provisioning task if the selected groups already exist in the target tenant. Groups that are not in the target tenant will be automatically provisioned.

    Select and configure the options as described below:

    1. Do not provision the group - The group will be skipped if it exists in the target tenant.
    2. Provision a new group. A suffix will be added to the original name - A new group will be provisioned with the specified suffix appended to the group name
      • New group display name suffix - Specify a suffix to append to the group name. The default suffix is (migrated).
    3. Merge with the existing group - Select this option to set up a mapping between a source and target group with the same name. When members are migrated with the migration task, the accounts that are members of the source group will be added to the same group in the target tenant.
    4. Suppress automatic Group Welcome Message sending - Select the check box to prevent group members from receiving a welcome message.
    5. Multi-geo options: Preferred location - Leave the preferred data location as Nonewhich is the default if the target is a multi-geo tenant and you have already configured a default geo location for the target tenant. All groups will be migrated to the same region. To set up the default geo location, see Configuring the Migration Project. If you change the default settings, please allow at least 5 minutes for the new settings to take effect. Alternatively, select the geo location configured for the target tenant.

    6. TIP: To migrate groups to different regions, the best practice is to create a collection of groups for each region. Example collection names could be "Migrate to EUR", "Migrate to JPN" or "Migrate to NAM". Then use the collection as a filter to create the provision task.

      For more information about multi-geo tenants, see Microsoft 365 Multi-Geo.

  9. Notification
    1. Send notification email once the task is completed - select this option to send a notification email when a provisioning task completes.
      • Only in a case of failure - select this option to send the email if the provisioning task fails to complete successfully.
