In order to minimize Office 365 throttling impact to migration and to raise the overall migration throughput, we highly recommend to upgrade your Office 365 tenant throttling policies. Please contact Microsoft support with the request to raise the limits for the following throttling parameters to 'Unlimited':
The upgrade can be done for the time of your migration only.
The On Demand Migration introduces a new Migration UI that provides high-level, intuitive project management for migrating accounts and content from one tenant to another. Now you can create a migration project that provides a full range of migration features, and track accounts and content migration in one comprehensive migration project dashboard. Also now you can use new My Projects list view for the birds-eye view on all your migration projects.
By default new Migration UI is now turned on. In case you prefer to use a classic user interface, turn off the new Migration UI by means of the slider in the top right corner of the main migration project Dashboard and return to the classic migration UI, to the project management interface and in-depth progress reporting you are used before.

Basic migration workflow consists of the following steps:
|
IMPORTANT: Quest recommends that any full scale migration should be preceded by test and pilot migrations to ensure that your migration tasks and procedures will accommodate the organization requirements. |
Any full scale migration should be preceded by test and pilot migrations, to confirm that your migration processes and procedures will accommodate the organization requirements.
In either case - a test or pilot migration - the data to be migrated should be a representative sample of the production data, and the test or pilot migration should be run with the Quest applications set for the same configuration and process options that you intend to use for the production migration. it is recommended to select test or pilot users whose usage and data types make them representative of the total user population. Then create and run matching / migration tasks for those accounts, including all range of tasks you are planning to perform. When the tasks are completed, review errors and warnings, if any. See Event Management section for more information.
Quest recommends that you use both test and pilot migrations:
Perform one or more test migrations in a separate test environment, migrating test copies of real users and their real data. The separate test environment ensures that no test process will affect the data or configurations of your production environment. If a test exposes any problems under migration, you can make amendments and then repeat the test by simply dumping the test environment and recreating it from scratch.
When you are confident that your test migrations have sufficiently refined your planned migration, perform a pilot migration for 20 or 30 users to verify if your planned migration is satisfactory for your "real world."

TIP: Click on you pair of tenants in the breadcrumbs for return to main project Dashboard. |
|
Caution: Disable Address Rewrite Service, if enabled, in case you want to delete the migration project. |
In case you use classic user interface, for the birds-eye view on your account migration project, go to account migration project Dashboard.
