Moving a tenant and its users
The actual project includes everything that must still work after the data moves: sign-in, delivery, permissions, devices, applications, links, and administration.
Inventory before moving
Find the data, permissions, identities, applications, links, devices, vendors, and exceptions that must survive the transition.
Rehearse the risky parts
Test representative users, content, permissions, delivery, and rollback before the main cutover.
Validate after the move
Confirm business outcomes and resolve exceptions before declaring the source environment ready for retirement.
- 01
Inventory the source, destination, data, users, groups, domains, permissions, integrations, devices, and business constraints.
- 02
Map source to destination, define the migration sequence, prepare users, and establish validation and rollback criteria.
- 03
Configure the destination, test representative accounts and data, then correct issues before the broad move.
- 04
Migrate in controlled waves, complete the cutover, and validate mail, files, permissions, devices, applications, and shared resources.
- 05
Resolve exceptions, retire the old environment when safe, and document the final state and administrative ownership.
