Mapping, Renaming and Merging Manually from a File

To rename Microsoft 365 groups or merge one or more source groups to a specific group in the target tenant, a CSV file is used to indicate the mapping between source and target groups as described below.

To creating a mapping file:

1.  Prepare a comma-separated values (CSV) file with the source and target group names.

   TIP: Export selected groups to a comma-separated values (CSV) and then edit this file. See Exporting Groups for more details.

2. The header row defines the names of the source and target attribute used for mapping. Subsequent rows list the mapping values of the attributes.

   The columns are as follows:

   • Source Mailnickname - unique name of the source group. The following column header variations are supported: SourceMailNickname, Source MailNickname, Source MailNickName. The column header is case sensitive.
   • Target Mailnickname - unique name of the target group. The following column header variations are supported: TargetMailNickname, Target MailNickname, Target MailNickName. The column header is case sensitive. You can merge multiple source groups to a single target group when you specify the same Target Mailnickname in a mapping file.
   • Target Group Name - display name of the target group. The column header is case sensitive.

   

   Example 1: Row 2: Simple change of name.

   The source group display name and mailnickname are changed.

   Example 2: Rows 3 and 4: Different target groups with the same display name.

   The Target Mailnicknames are different but the Target Group Names are the same. The Target Mailnickname takes precedence and the groups will be mapped to distinct target groups but the display name of each target group will be the same. It is recommended that you use unique display names to avoid confusion.

   Example 3: Rows 5, 6 and 7: Merge multiple source groups with the same target group.

   The Target Mailnickname is the same. The source groups will be merged with the same target group with the specified display name.

3. Save the CSV file.

NOTE: File names with non-ASCII characters are not supported.

To upload a mapping file:

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 Teams from the project tiles, or click Open from the Teams tile to open the Teams dashboard.
5. Click the M365 Groups tab.
6. Click More Actions and then click Map from File. The New Mapping from File Task wizard opens.
   
7. Step 1: Mapping file
   1. Click Browse and select the CSV mapping file. The selected file name appears next to the Browse button.
   2. Click Next.
8. Step 2: Notification
   1. Send notification email once the task is completed - select this option to send a notification email when a mapping task completes.
      • Only in a case of failure - select this option to send the email if the mapping 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.
   3. Click Next.
