The following is a list of issues, including those attributed to third-party products, known to exist at the time of release.
General known issues
| If the Skip if the target file is the same version or newer option is selected, files that were previously migrated and for which additional sharing permissions have been added may not appear in the Shared With Me panel of users who have been granted this additional sharing permission. Workaround: Remove and re-grant permissions directly to previously migrated files in the target. |
ODM-1112 |
| Statistics related to permissions can be incorrect in some specific cases. |
ODM-872 |
| Deletion of target object after the migration may not be reported. |
ODM -855 |
| In case the created Mailbox Switch task is edited and the mail forwarding direction is changed, all selected notification messages will be readdressed, but the wizard may not display notification settings correctly. Workaround: Select Run later and finish the task to re-open it. After the task is re-opened you can see the actual notification settings. Now you can schedule the task as necessary. |
N/A |
| If you remove a tenant that is currently used in migration projects from On Demand, the affected projects can still be opened without any alerts or notifications. However, all project tasks will fail. |
N/A |

ODM-176 |

The following error is displayed for each affected user: "Group membership migration completed with errors. Couldn't find object [User GUID]. Please make sure that it was spelled correctly or specify a different object." Workaround: Re-migrate the affected groups. |
ODM-309 |

Address Rewriting
Due to Microsoft's Exchange Online limits on messages sent from the tenant that are calculated according to purchased Exchange Online licenses, some of the sent messages exceeding this limit will not be delivered within 24 hours and will wait in the queue to be send next day. If waiting time will be longer than 24 hours, the sender will receive an NDR.
Workaround: To increase bandwidth you need to purchase more Exchange Online licenses
