On Demand Migration Current - User Guide

Before you start, verify that you have discovered all the Microsoft 365 groups without teams. Make sure that all accounts that are members of these groups, have been discovered and matched with accounts in the target tenant. Group members are not added to groups in this step. Use the migration task to migrate group membership.

To provision Microsoft 365 Groups:

1. Log in to Quest On Demand and choose an organization if you have multiple organizations.
2. From the navigation pane, click Migration to open the My Projects list.
3. Create a new project or open an existing project.
4. Click the Teams tile, or click Open from the Teams tile to open the Teams dashboard.
5. Click theM365 Groups tab.
6. Select one or more groups from the Groups List View.
7. Click Provision. The New Groups Provisioning Task wizard opens.
8. Step 1: Provision Options

   These options control the actions of the provisioning task if the selected groups already exist in the target tenant. Groups that are not in the target tenant will be automatically provisioned.

   

   Select and configure the options as described below:

   1. Do not provision the group - The group will be skipped if it exists in the target tenant.
   2. Provision a new group. A suffix will be added to the original name - A new group will be provisioned with the specified suffix appended to the group name
      • New group display name suffix - Specify a suffix to append to the group name. The default suffix is (migrated).
   3. Merge with the existing group - Select this option to set up a mapping between a source and target group with the same name. When members are migrated with the migration task, the accounts that are members of the source group will be added to the same group in the target tenant.
   4. Suppress automatic Group Welcome Message sending - Select the check box to prevent group members from receiving a welcome message.
   5. Multi-geo options: Preferred location - If the target tenant is geo-enabled, select a location to update the geo location of the selected groups in the target tenant. The default is None. See Microsoft 365 Multi-Geo availability for the description of the geo locations in the dropdown list.
