ODMT - Is there a way to perform a limited Teams Chat Discovery?
Description

You have a large collection of matched users, but only a small subset (less than 10%) requires their private chats to be migrated. Running a full Chats Discovery would include all matched accounts, which is unnecessary.
Cause

The Chats Discovery task automatically lists all user accounts that are matched with a corresponding user in the target tenant under the ODM Accounts section. There is no built-in filter for chat migration during discovery.
Resolution
- To limit Teams Chat Discovery to only the required users:
  1. Create a Collection
    
    Navigate to the Accounts tab in ODM.
    Select only the users who need private chat migration.
    Click Collections > Create New Collection and name it appropriately (e.g., “Chat Migration Users”).
  2. Run Discovery for the Collection
    
    From the Teams Migration dashboard, select the collection you created.
    Run the Chats Discovery task scoped to that collection.
  This approach ensures that only the selected users are included in the chat migration process.

ODMTOG-I-50
Additional Information

- Collections are an effective way to segment users for targeted migration tasks. - You can create multiple collections if different subsets of users require different migration scopes.
