5. During a SharePoint site migration, will the target site automatically remap to the user’s File Explorer Quick Access (Sync) location? 

5.1 No. SharePoint site migrations do not retain or remap existing OneDrive sync relationships. As a result, the target SharePoint site will not automatically appear in File Explorer after migration. Users or site administrators must manually initiate a new sync for the migrated site.

5.2 For OneDrive user migrations, the OneDrive Desktop Update Agent (DUA) can be used to automatically redirect existing sync clients to the new target tenant or location without requiring user intervention.

6. There are few logs with the keyword "Malware found/detected, files will be skipped" what we can action about it?

6.1 It is detected on Microsoft Sharepoint level where it would not be available for ODM to migrate those items; Owner shall review and if it is a valid nonMalware or issue files, unblock it,(reachout to Microsoft if it is false detection). Once its no longer detected as malware , retry the migration.
