Challenges of Microsoft Teams Migration

2. Teams migration is quite complicated as compared to the SharePoint migration as unlike SharePoint, all the Teams
data are not sorted Team-wise at particular places. Instead, they are sorted according to the type of content. So,
manual migration will involve picking up each of those from different locations and assigning them to the
designated Teams – A task that sounds difficult and is even more difficult when we try to execute it.
For migrating Microsoft Teams from one tenant to another, it will be almost impossible to execute the task manually
as it might include gathering data from the following sources:
SharePoint team site
Exchange team mailbox
Exchange mailboxes of individual users
OneDrive for Business of individual user
OneDrive organizational document library
Azure (using Blob storage)
Stream
Third-party storage provider
Manual Teams Migration From one Tenant to another
Manually migrating Teams from one Tenant to another involves a humongous amount of IT efforts and time. The
lack of public APIs from Microsoft makes the automation of Teams migration almost unachievable. While there is
no easy way for migrating Microsoft Teams from one office 365 tenant to another, we can devise a plan that
involves systematically migrating each of the Teams components to the new Tenant and then reintegrating them
into their cloned Teams.
Teams elements to be migrated and reintegrated
The contents of a Team aren’t sorted Team-wise in the tenant storage. Instead, they are sorted by the type of
content. While this keeps the data organization excellent while maintaining Microsoft Teams, it turns out to be the
worst part too when we decide to migrate them.
Here’s a list of their element locations:
SharePoint Team site
Sharepoint Teams sites store all the files and folders stored in the team document library or shared in channels. It
also includes Teams external emails, its wiki page, and OneNote assets of Teams channels.
Exchange Team mailbox
This location comprises of the Teams contacts, mails, group chat, and channel chat conversation history.
Exchange mailboxes of individual users
Each of the individual mailboxes will contain the private one to one chats with that particular user along
with conversation history and voicemails. It also comprises of the calendar meeting details.
OneDrive for Business of individual users
Each user’s one drive account is connected to Teams and all the attachments exchanged in private chats, meeting
chats, or call message windows are uploaded and stored in the respective user’s OneDrive account.

3. OneDrive organizational document library
Users’ personal OneNote files along with all the details are stored here.
Microsoft Azure
Images and all other types of media except GIFs that have been shared in chats are stored in the Azure account.
Microsoft Stream
All the Meeting recordings are stored in Microsoft Teams for any future reference.
Third-party storage provider
If your organization allows third-party storage provider, either through Teams tabs or other partner apps,
the information related to them are stored directly in the systems of those 3rd party used by the partner.

2. Add the required users and permissions to each Team manually
3. Download the contents of each Team from source
4. Update the content of each Team at the destination with the ones downloaded from the source
5. Export each mailbox from the source and import them at the destination
Steps to Migrate Microsoft Teams with Saketa Teams Migrator
MS Teams migration is the need of the hour but the excessively lengthy and complicated approach required for
executing it manually makes it nothing less than a nightmare. Instead of using so much of the time of the IT
team executing the migration as well as that of the end-users whose communication might suffer significantly until
the process is done, why not go for a simpler, quicker and more efficient automated way. Using a 3rd party Teams
migration tool is a great idea to simplify the migration process while bringing in a significant reduction in downtime.
