Migration from GoDaddy to MS365 Inquiry

Hi,

  1. We need to determine best way to effectively move: MS 365 mailbox (24 accounts), Sharepoint, MS Teams and Onedrive

  2. Note that our DNS settings is with SiteGround.

  3. We need to know the correct DNS settings, how to revert back to our main domain once all accounts are migrated and basically how to effectively execute the migration.

  4. For Teams – do we purchase BitTitan MigrationWiz? For sharepoint, can we use sharepoint migration tool? We tried using SPMT with onedrive however it says godaddy to Microsoft migration is not supported.

Hello Ariel P_1,

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft community!

 

To effectively migrate your resources (24 MS 365 mailboxes, SharePoint, MS Teams, and OneDrive) from GoDaddy to Microsoft 365 (MS365), you should follow a structured approach that addresses each component of your migration specifically.

 

For migrating mailboxes from GoDaddy's Microsoft 365 to your new Microsoft 365 environment, you can utilize built-in Microsoft tools. Ensure that both the source (GoDaddy) and destination (new MS365 tenant) environments are ready and feature all required settings. Microsoft offers native mailbox migration options, including cutover or staged migrations. Many guides suggest using PowerShell scripts for this process to automate and streamline migrations, especially when dealing with multiple mailboxes.

For SharePoint data, you can use the SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT). However, as you noted, there may be issues with migrating directly from GoDaddy. If SPMT doesn't support GoDaddy directly, check for Alternative Tools. Consider leveraging third-party tools like BitTitan MigrationWiz, which may offer better compatibility during this migration and allow you to handle complex scenarios more effectively.

 

In your case, since it has been noted that the SPMT does not support GoDaddy to Microsoft migrations,  Use OneDrive sync to manually download files from OneDrive in GoDaddy and upload them to the new MS365 environment. Similar to the SharePoint migration, this can simplify the process and increase effectiveness by automating the data transfer.

 

Regarding Microsoft Teams, it is indeed beneficial to use BitTitan MigrationWiz as it supports the migration of Teams data effectively. The choice to invest in this tool largely depends on your migration scale and budget. It can streamline processes and mitigate risks associated with manual methods.
