Post Migration Compare

You can run reports that highlight differences in the number of SharePoint objects between source and target after migrating any of the following:

· Google Drive to SharePoint Online

·Google Shared Drive to SharePoint Online

·SharePoint Online to SharePoint Online

The report is saved as an Excel file, so it can be shared with other administrators/site owners.

Creating a CSV with Mappings

Before a Google Drive to One Drive Post Migration Compare report can be run, a CSV file must be created that maps each source and target user you want to compare. You can run a mapping report and modify it to contain only the source Google Drive user and target One Drive user, and target library, as shown in the example below.

Post Migration Compare Google Drive

info

NOTE:  If the mappings are incorrect or in the wrong format for the report, when you load the CSV file the message Mapping is incorrect will display in the UI.

To perform a Google Drive to One Drive Post Migration Compare:

2.For Location and name for report, click the Select button, then select the name and location for the Excel output. (Essentials automatically adds the xlsx extension).

§Group By either List or Item.

§Show differences only: When this box is checked, the report will only show objects for which the count is different between the source and target. If you leave this box unchecked, the report will include all objects, regardless of whether the count is different. Count differences will be highlighted in red.

§Ignore target excess: When this box is checked, only objects for which the source count is higher than the target count will be highlighted in red. If you leave this box unchecked, objects for which the target count is higher than the source count will also display in red.

§Include Orphaned Files - When this box is checked, the report will include files that were created in a folder that was shared with a user and after the file was created, but their permission to the shared folder was removed. Including orphaned files will increase the time it takes for the report to run.

§Skip Non-Owned Files - When this box is checked, the report will exclude any content that exists in the user's Google Drive "My Drive" area that is not owned by the user.

§Include Shared Files - When this box is checked, the report will include files that have been shared with the user.

§Skip non supported objects - When this box is checked, any files that are not supported in Office 365 will be skipped.

Now you can either:

·generate the report immediately (by clicking the Next button).

OR

·schedule the report to run at a specified time.
