Manual Method to Migrate Office 365 Mailboxes

Microsoft does not provide any direct migration feature for tenant-to-tenant migration in the Office 365 admin center. However, the manual method involves several steps using PowerShell.

Also, we suggest saving a backup of Office 365 mailbox to PST and then following the steps below. If you don't have PowerShell skills, consider choosing MailsDaddy cloud services.

Watch Manual Step:

Manual Steps:

  1. Prepare Source and Target Tenants
  2. Create Mail-Enabled Users in Source Tenant.
  3. Save the Tenant ID of both the source and target
  4. Create a Migration app and Secret value in the target
  5. Manage Endpoint and Organization Relationship in Target
  6. Configure Organization Relationship in Source
  7. Create a Mail user in Target
  8. Find and Add ExchangeGuid and ExchangeLegacyDN of the source into the target
  9. Test Migration Server
  10. Assign License to Mail user in target
  11. Create Migration batch in Target
  12. Monitor Migration. That’s it!

Pros of the Manual Method

  • Free
  • Allows for complete control over each step.

Cons of the Manual Method

  • Time-consuming and complex, especially for non-technical users.
  • Requires multiple permissions and PowerShell knowledge.
  • High chances of making a mistake or skipping a step.

Conclusion

Migrating mailboxes from one Office 365 tenant to another is often necessary but not always easy. The manual process is long, requires expertise, and is prone to errors.
