Plan and Prepare
Plan and prepare migration
Before migrating to Office 365, plan carefully to ensure a smooth transition. Evaluate your current infrastructure—hardware, software, and network—to identify any compatibility issues.
Choose the right migration method for your needs, such as cutover, staged, hybrid, or IMAP, and define the migration scope, including data to move, archive, or delete. A detailed plan will help address challenges and ensure an effective migration to Office 365.

Migration prerequisites
Before migrating to Office 365, configure both source and target environments. On the source server, use a global admin account for Auto Registration of EdbMails or a full-access user account for Manual Registration. Ensure network and bandwidth meet requirements and set permissions for public folders and archive mailboxes.
On the target server, prepare the tenant, choose mailbox creation and license methods, and select a licensing plan, starting with a free trial if needed. Set up public folders, enable archive mailboxes, and handle custom domains and large message settings.
