Migration to SharePoint Online from 2010

Ajay Kumar

Hi,
We are currently using sharepoint 2010, we have 2 domains right now, abc1.com and abc2.com including both we have about 15000+ users
and on our new Azure AD we have new domain name xyz.com and all the users from the current domains have been migrated their and their email IDs are changed.

we are planning to use sharegate tool for migration purposes, but I want to understand while migration how Sharegate will map the respective permissions of the users. how it will find the email id's of those users someone please help me to understand this?

and is it easy migration process since we have 2 domains to be migrated to one online domain of azure AD.

Please let me know if more details are need to understand this.

Thanks,

Hi Ajay,
Based on your situation, you can follow these steps to map your users in ShareGate.
1. First you have to create a ShareGate user mapping, for the site/Data source dureing the migration.
2. In the mapping, you have to map the same users, one to one, mostly manually. Here is a link which may help to map the users- https://www.netwoven.com/2019/02/12/nuances-of-user-migration-using-sharegate/
3. If you can also try to create an XML file with the help of power shell where you can mapp the users based on display name. Then you can inport the file in the mapping window. Here is a link which help to that- http://sharepointjack.com/2015/create-a-sharegate-user-mapping-file-between-on-premise-ad-and-o365-azure-ad/
4. After user mapping, you may run a pre-check and find if you have any ambiguity and run the data migration.
Hope it will help. Thanks.

Hi Ajay,

Wish you happy new year!!

The ShareGate migration is a tool which does not migrate users and security groups to your active directory before kick start the migration we need to sync the Active Directory at the destination, so your users and groups are available during the migration.

Once the users and groups are sync the SG will create a mapping, if not you can also create custom mapping of the users.
