    • ownership (for accounts that have a pair on the target tenant )
    • membership (for accounts that have a pair on the target tenant )
    • email address for migrated Microsoft 365 Groups will be created in default target domain. See Microsoft Teams Migration for details on how to migrate Microsoft 365 Groups associated with Teams.

Migrating distribution lists with group delegations

On Demand migrates distribution lists with group delegations like SendAs and SendOnBehalf, including scenarios where the distribution list in the target exists or does not exist, or exists and does or does not have group delegations. When the distribution list with group delegations exists in the target then only newly added group delegations are migrated, and group delegations are ignored if anything is deleted at the source. Existing SendAs and SendOnBehalf group delegations on the target, either preexisting before On Demand migration or migrated by On Demand will be left intact and merged with the one migrated from the source.

Delegated accounts are migrated as follows:

  Mail User Mail Box Mail Enabled Security Group Distribution List
SendAs Y Y Y  
SendOnBehalf Y Y Y Y

 

NOTE: Microsoft does not support the following delegated account types so they do not apply to the migration.

  • For SendAS: AAD User, External/Guest User, Distribution List, Security Group
  • For SendOnBehalf: AAD User, External / Guest User, Security Group

NOTE: The temporary Migration Manager account of the target tenant will be added as an owner to all target mail-enabled security groups, distribution groups and Microsoft 365 Groups.

To configure connections for source and target tenants:

  2. From the navigation pane, click Migration to open the My Projects list.
  3. Create a new project or open an existing project.
