Collecting Statistics

A Collect Account Statistics Task conducts an assessment of all accounts in the source tenant and matching accounts in the target tenant.

Each Collect Account Statistics Task generates events. Events are milestones that a task achieves as it runs. For example, when an Collect Account Statistics Task starts, an event is logged and it appears in the events list. When the number of accounts that are selected for assessment is large, the Collect Account Statistics Task divides the total number of accounts into manageable sets. Each set is called a batch. When a batch of accounts is assessed, another event occurs.

NOTE: Before you proceed, verify that the source tenant accounts have been discovered. For more information see Discovering Accounts

Migrating Accounts

Caution: Don’t start a migration before the discovery task is finished. Running a matching task is recommended.

In this topic:

Considerations for Guest User Migration

TIP: Guest user accounts have a specific icon to distinguish them from other domain members.

On Demand migration can process all guest user types supported by Microsoft. Before adding a guest user account to the migration task, consider the following:

  • Guest user account cannot be migrated if an original account for this guest user is already in the target tenant. The guest user account should be matched but not migrated.
  • Guest user account cannot be migrated in case a guest user account of the same original account is already in the target tenant. To update the target guest user account properties create a matching task to pair these guest user accounts and then migrate the source guest user account again
  • Guest user account cannot be migrated in case the invitation procedure in source domain is not finished yet. In case acceptance procedure was skipped (this case is deprecated now, but such guest users still exist), and the acceptance status is empty, guest user can be migrated successfully.
  • A regular source user mapped to a target guest user during migration, will be converted to a regular user. If the target guest user was created in an on-premise environment, you must manually convert the target guest user to a regular user.

Preferred Data Location

For multi-geo enabled tenants, each account could be assigned a Preferred Data Location (PDL) property in Azure Active Directory. During account migration the property is migrated from source to target tenant. If the preferred data location is set in the source account then the same setting can be migrated to the target. If the preferred data location is absent in the source tenant then it will either not be set on the target or it will use the default location of the target tenant. This applies only for general tenant to multi-geo tenant and multi-geo tenant to multi-geo tenant migrations.

Starting an Account Migration 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 Accounts tile, or click Open from the Accounts tile to open the Accounts and User Data migration workspace.
  5. Click the Accounts tab and select List View if not already selected.
  6. Select the accounts you want to migrate. If you are planning to migrate Microsoft 365 Groups including content, see Microsoft 365 Groups Migration.
  7. Click Migrate from the Actions menu. The New Account Migration Task wizard starts.
  8. Step 1: Custom Target Domain

    1. Configure the options as described below:
      • Custom target domain name - select the domain you want to use for the UPN and primary SMTP address of accounts created during the migration process.

        NOTE: Accounts that already exist in the target tenant will not have their current UPN or primary SMTP email address modified.

      • Set target PDL - choose how the Preferred Data Location (PDL) will be assigned to target accounts created in multi-geo tenants. This applies only for general tenant to multi-geo tenant and multi-geo tenant to multi-geo tenant migrations. The Microsoft 365 multi-geo feature must be available and enabled in the target tenant, otherwise this option is ignored.
        • Migrate PDL value from source account - assign the same PDL value as the corresponding source account, or use the default location specified in the target tenant.
        • Select PDL value to assign - assign a specific PDL value to target accounts. Choose a PDL from the Location dropdown. See Microsoft 365 Multi-Geo availability for location codes.
    2. Click Next.
  9. Step 2: Custom Source Domain
    1. Configure the setting as described below:
      • Custom source domain for routing - select the custom source domain name for forwarding mail from the target account. If the domain is omitted, the primary SMTP address of the source tenant will be used as the forwarding address for the mail enabled user created by this task. Optionally, you can select the custom SMTP domain here that will be used as the forwarding address.
    2. Click Next.
  10. Step 3: Guest Users

    This option is used when guest users are migrated. For all other account types, this option is ignored.

    Send invitation email - select this option to send an invitation email to migrated guest users. Guest users can either accept the invitation or authenticate with Microsoft to access secured applications. If this option is not selected, guest users must authenticate with Microsoft to access secured applications.

  11. Step 4: Notification
    1. Send notification email once the task is completed - select this option to send a notification email when a discovery task completes.
      • Only in a case of failure - select this option to send the email if the discovery task fails to complete successfully.
    2. Recipients - enter the email address of the recipients of this email. You can specify multiple recipient email addresses separated by semicolon.
  12. Step 5: Schedule
    1. Choose from one of three options to schedule the task. The scheduler will be activated only after you complete the task wizard.
      • Run now - task runs immediately.
      • Run later - task must be started manually.
      • Schedule - task will be started at a future date and time entered in the corresponding calendar field.
    2. Click Next.
  13. Step 6: Summary
    1. Verify the task specifications as described below:

      6. Scheduled start - date and time when the task will start. Now indicates that the task will start immediately.
    2. Click Back to revise or review a previous step or click Finish to complete the task wizard and start the task as scheduled.

You can track its progress in the Tasks tab, view the summary on the Dashboard or monitor alerts and notifications in the Events tab. When accounts are matched successfully, the Status changes from New to Completed.

IMPORTANT: The account migration service does not synchronize end-user passwords as part of the data migration process. The migration administrator will need to reset or synchronize end-user passwords from the source tenant to the target tenant using native Microsoft 365 tools or third-party Single Sign On tools.

Column value Description
Migrating

Migration of this object has started.

  • For each source member object (user or group), the matched target account is added to the matched target group
  • If the matched target account is already a member in the group, the member will not ne processed.
Migrated Migration is complete and successful. Matches were found for all source group members and the target members were added to the target group.
Migrated with Issues

Migration has completed with errors. At least one member was migrated, but not all. Possible reasons:

  • Source member did not matched a target account. Runthe Account Matching Task or Account Mapping Task for this member, or ignore if the member is not in scope.
  • Source member was matched to a target account, but an error occurred when trying to add the member to the target group. The member that failed is listed in the task event. Review error details.
Migration failed

Migration of members did not succeed. Possible reasons:

  • Source group did not match a target group. Run the Account Matching Task or Account Mapping Task, or perform a standard Account migration.
  • Selected object was a User, Team, or M365 Group. Group Membership migration is not supported for these objects.
  • An error occurred that prevented migrating any members to the matched target group. Review error details.
