Migrating from O365 to GAFE

[Mr_Jiminy]

Apologies if this has been requested previously, I'd be happy to refer to links to threads if they're on here.

 

Has anyone performed a migration from the Office 365 hosted Exchange to GAFE?

 

At present it's only going to affect a small staff user base of eleven users.

What Office 365 components are you migrating?

 

Thanks

[Mr_Jiminy]

Primarily email.

To be honest with just 11 people I would look at exporting files out of outlook via PST and reimporting via outlook again but to Google Apps using the outlook connector.

 

Didn't know if you had sharepoint or not. That would have been a totally different ball game!

[Mr_Jiminy]

Yeah I had figured that one, however wasn't sure if the migration tool inside GAFE allowed for a more automated process.

There are tools for the job - https://support.google.com/a/answer/6003169 and https://tools.google.com/dlpage/exchangemigration.

The tools provided don't migrate everything I don't think, such as tasks and flagged emails.

Quite right, however it did prove a massive time saver. The migration also proved fairly painless to implement, with some only minimal configuration required at the O365 side.
