What is Microsoft 365 cross Tenant Migration?
Microsoft 365 cross-tenant migration typically refers to the process of moving data and services from one Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) tenant to another. A tenant in Microsoft 365 is essentially a dedicated instance of the service for an organization, and it includes things like user accounts, email, SharePoint sites, OneDrive for Business, and other related services.
Now, what is BitTitan tool?
BitTitan is a company that provides cloud services enablement and managed services automation. One of their notable offerings is the “MigrationWiz” tool, which is commonly used for email and data migration, including migrations to and from Microsoft 365 (Office 365).
Let’s begin with the steps to perform:
1: You need to have credentials ready for Microsoft 365 Tenant.
Source Tenant + Target Tenant
2: Since Basic Auth. is deprecated last in Dec 2022. You need to Register BitTitan Application in Azure to use Modern Auth.
Note: Make sure your Admin accounts should have Global Admin role.
Multi-Factor Authentication should be disabled.
Create Security Group in Office 365 with the name of MigrationWiz and add the Serviceaccount/GlobalAdmin as member before performing BitTitan Configuration.
