Migrating from one O365 tenant to a different O365 tenant
-
Original thread: https://www.mangolassi.it/topic/5350/office-365-via-godaddy
In the process of moving email using MigrationWiz. What about contacts and groups in the GAL? Anyone know of a way to get them from one O365 install to another?

Pinging @Minion-Queen and @jenuinecase
MQ is travelling so unlikely to see this.

@art_of_shred and @Mike-Ralston are travelling too. @Mike-Ralston will be hanging with @FiyaFly in a couple of days.

Checking in for a minute. I will ping @Mike-Davis as he very well may have the answer to this one (I don't have my notes right now from past installs).

Thanks for popping in.

Appreciate the replied. Worse case scenario, I can reenter by hand.

Slightly off topic... Is the GAL still the best place for shared contacts in O365? I've seen discussion of using a public folder, but I'm not sure it this is preferred or even desirable. I thought PF were taboo.

Also reading about using a shared mailbox for sharing contacts. Lots of different options...

It depends how many users and all that, but you could start with the script:

to get all your groups and then use the commands in:
http://o365info.com/manage-distribution-groups-by-using/
to build them in the new tenant. -
@Mike-Davis Thanks... I'll take a look at those now.
Edit: The script worked great for capturing the groups and members. Thanks again!

I created a shared mailbox and then I manually added the contacts (there are only 14 of them) to it. This makes the contacts visible to any user with access to the shared mailbox. However, I also wanted to used these "shared" contacts in some distribution groups, which doesn't appear to be possible.
