Cloud services and network migration

[nicholab]

How would you go about migrating users account between networks when using office 365?

I may be misunderstanding the question! The options seem to be :

 

1. Manual Input

2. CSV upload

3. Automatic synchronisation from the local directory

 

For almost anything, I'd go for 3 because I don't see any time in the near future where a local directory won't be needed. That said, we are only using 365 to give a few students access to an office download (on request) so currently just do 1.

@nicholab what do you mean by between networks? Transferring accounts from between O365 tenants, between different AD domains or just from on-premises to O365?

I meant that we have O365 identity and we are going to be migrating to a new on site AD. Currently students are synced using the DirSync tool into office 365 and staff created manually.
