Limitations

Only the latest version of frequently updated files such as outlook PST files, database files and log files will be migrated.

Considerations

Before starting the OneDrive migration consider the following:

  • When active or expired Sharing Links are migrated, existing permissions are converted to direct permissions in the target tenant.
  • Migrating Sharing Link permissions for external users requires the external user be an Azure Active Directory guest.
  • Migrating Authors and Editors will only map to the Primary SMTP Address. Multiple SMTP addresses are not currently supported.
  • Migrating a OneDrive user Recycle Bin is not supported.
  • Document with URLs longer than 400 characters cannot be migrated to a target tenant.
  • Very large OneDrives with hundreds of thousands of files or files that are 500 GB or larger, should be divided into two or more OneDrives to improve migration throughput.

Prerequisites

  • You must match or migrate user accounts in the migration project to ensure that membership, content ownership, and permissions are processed correctly.
  • The target tenant should has the fully configured OneDrive feature with a valid license plan. Licenses can be automatically assigned to the target users during the migration.
  • Tenant administrator consents are granted for source and target tenants .The following consents should be granted for OneDrive migration feature:
    • Migration - Basic
    • Migration - SharePoint

    If tenant administrator consents are not granted or have expired, account discovery will be deactivated and you will be unable to continue.

  • Tenant administrator credentials must also be provided for both tenants in the Configure Connections dialog.

 

Prerequisites

  • You must match all accounts in the project to ensure that membership and content ownership are processed correctly.
  • The following admin consents should be granted for SharePoint migration:
    • Migration - Basic
    • Migration - OneDrive - Minimal (for source)
    • Migration - OneDrive - Full (for source and target)
