Kernel G Suite to Office 365 - G Suite to Office 365 Cutover Migration

The method of migration between the cloud platforms from different vendors depends on the type of email server that you are using and what email server that you want to use. But many of these platforms have made it possible to import the mailboxes from other platforms. The cloud platform from Microsoft is called Microsoft 365. In this, a Super Administrator credential can import the G Suite mailbox emails with the help of Microsoft 365 Admin Center. As G Suite supports IMAP protocol for its emails, the emails can be migrated manually.

The migration is completed in several stages, in which the mailboxes are prepared and migrated to Office 365. Let’s see these stages of migration one by one:

Stage 1. Verify the Domain

Before starting the migration, you should verify to Office 365 that you own the G Suite domain. The setup wizard gives you a TXT record that is available to add at the domain host provider. In the Microsoft Office 365 Admin Center, you can use the two options to verify the domain.

• When the DNS host provider is Google, then you can add your TXT record here.
• If you had purchased the domain from a third-party domain registrar, then you can contact them to add the TXT record.

Stage 2. Create users in Office 365

After verifying the domain of G Suite accounts, you can continue to create new user accounts in Office 365. You can either create a single user at a time or create multiple users at a time. Each user should have the mail-enabled mailbox that will receive the data from the G Suites users, and the user should have the active license of an Office 365 subscription plan.

Stage 3. Create a G suite Mailbox List for Migration

To start a migration, you require the list that contains the G Suite mailbox details. The easiest way to create such a migration file is through the MS Excel spreadsheet.

• You should know the app password of the G Suite mailboxes.
• In the case of no app password, the administrator can create a temporary password by resetting the password.
• The size of the migration file should be up to 10 MB only.

Methods to Migrate G Suite to Office 365

To take the backup of multiple mailboxes, you need to have the email ID of the Super Administrator account, which has created other G Suite account. Here is the process:

1. Migrate G Suite to Office 365 Manually
2. Migrate G Suite to Office 365 with Kernel G Suite to Office 365 Tool

Method No. 1 – Migrate G Suite to Office 365 Manually

The manual or native way for the migration involves the use of Admin Center features of both the platforms. It is a multi-stage process that includes multiple steps. So, the process is complex, requires a lot of time for completion, and could fail if a slight mistake or error happens.

The stages of the migration in a sequence are – Verifying both platforms domains to be the same →creating users in destination account → creating a list of mailboxes for migration in CSV file →creating Gmail IMAP migration endpoint → Creating migration batch and moving mailboxes → updating DNS records.

The migration would be successful if all the steps in different stages are performed accurately; otherwise, all the time can go wasted without achieving the migration.

Drawbacks of the manual G Suite to Office 365 migration

• Maximum number of mailboxes– 50, 000; maximum file size – 10MB
• Migrates only emails; Calendars and Contacts cannot be migrated
• Long, complex process (creating migration end point fails mostly)
• A single manual error can cause the failure of the whole process
• Technical expertise is required to perform the process correctly
• Risk of incomplete migration or data loss

Let us move to the next method, which can migrate all Google Workspace mailbox items together to the Office 365 platform.

Kernel G Suite to Office 365 - G Suite Backup and Migration Checklist

Reasons for G Suite Backup

There are various reasons why G Suite administrators and users think of backing up their data. Here are some of them:

• Insider threats The data breach committed by employees or people who have access to data is more common than an outside attack by hackers. Many research studies have shown that many business owners consider inside risks more damaging and severe.
• Human errors When the number of emails increases, the chances of accidental deletion by the user also increases. The user can quickly delete an important email and may not recognize the error till there is a need for the email. Sometimes, the administrator may delete the whole user account unknowingly.
• Synchronization errors The G Suite applications require to synchronize with many other apps routinely. Sometimes, when the apps lose the connection midway, then it may result in massive data loss.
• Hacking attempts Hackers attack businesses to steal their data or to stop them from accessing their data. Whenever malware attacks your G Suite account, you may not get access to the account again. It will be easier to create a new account and restore the data from the backup file.
