How to Manually Convert Groups to Teams

Does Power365 Directory Sync support the conversion of Office 365 Groups to a Team?  

Currently Power365 Directory Sync supports the creation of an Office 365 Group. Once that group is created in the target, it can be used to create a new team. At this time, to create the new team, it is recommended that Team’s PowerShell module be used.

How do I convert an Office 365 Group to a Team using PowerShell?  

There are several options to create a new Team with an existing Office 365 Group. The new team may be created using the Team client, web client or PowerShell. Additional information can be found here.

The Team PowerShell module is recommended for bulk operations. This example provides a method to create a new Team in the target using an existing Office 365 Group, if the group is not already attached to a Team.

1. Install-Module MicrosoftTeams
2. Connect to Exchange Online
3. Connect-MicrosoftTeams
4. Run Script

# This script creates new teams based on the existing groups # If the group is already associated with a team, it is skipped # If you do not have the Teams module installed, run "install-module microsoftteams" before proceeding   # Tenant Creds $TargetAdminAccount = "O365.Admin@contoso.onmicrosoft.com" $MyPW = "PASSWORD1234" $Targetpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString $MyPW -AsPlainText -Force $TargetCreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($TargetAdminAccount, $Targetpasswd)   # Connect to Exchange Online $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $TargetCreds -Authentication Basic –AllowRedirection Import-PSSession $Session Import-Module msonline Connect-MsolService -Credential $TargetCreds   # Install Teams Module #Install-Module MicrosoftTeams   #Connect to Teams Connect-MicrosoftTeams -Credential $TargetCreds   # Convert All Groups to Teams if the group is not already part of a team $UnifiedGroups = Get-UnifiedGroup -ResultSize Unlimited $Teams = Get-Team foreach ($Group in $UnifiedGroups) { If (!($Teams.GroupId -match $group.ExternalDirectoryObjectId)) { New-Team -Group $Group.ExternalDirectoryObjectId } }
