Special Cases
Table 1: Special Cases
| Microsoft Teams Migration |
Cannot find the group '{Group ID}' on the source. Try to check whether the group exists using PowerShell cmdlet 'Get-UnifiedGroup' as described in the documentation |
Group associated with the team not found |
Use the following PowerShell script and the group ID provided by the error message to get the group name:
Install-Module PowerShellGet -Force Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement |
$UserCredential = Get-Credential |
Connect-ExchangeOnline -Credential $UserCredential |
Get-UnifiedGroup -Identity "b1552bc6-f932-4ac9-a4f2-24a5d2da2eed" | Format-List DisplayName,Id |
If this is a source group, fix your source data before proceed for migration.
If this is a target group, check if this group exists in target. If this group exists, please contact our support. If this group doesn't exist, remove this group associated team from target, and rerun provision and migration. |
Finalizing the Migration
Congratulations! The migration is complete.
If you have created a temporary Migration Manager account for the migration as described in the Consents and Permissions topic, it is time to remove it because this account has elevated permissions and could pose security risks.
Removing the temporary account from Teams
The temporary Migration Manager account added to all source and target teams respectively as members or owners, can be removed. To remove the temporary Migration Manager account from the teams and groups use the following script:
- Remove-Migration-Account-From-Teams
This script can be downloaded here: https://support.quest.com/on-demand-migration/kb/320327
|
|
IMPORTANT: To run this script, a user account with the Global Administratorrole is required for the source tenant. For example, you can use the Tenant Administrator account.
Although the Remove-TeamUser command used in the script runs successfully, the Teams application does not reflect the update immediately. The Teams application may need to be open for up to an hour before changes are reflected. |
