s we Launched our new Microsoft Teams Migrator as a part of our Saketa Migration tool, it is quite expected that our users will be keen to delve deeper into the Teams migration process. So, we bring in a list of Microsoft Teams Migration Best Practices for you to enhance your Teams migration experience.Microsoft Teams Migration Best PracticesEven though our Teams Migration tool will ensure that there are no glitches in the process, however, there’s no harm in being extra cautious. If you are going for a heavy migration involving lots of users or huge data, taking a step or two on your part will make your migration experience even better. Let’s talk about the Teams Migration Best Practices so that we can ensure that the migration can take place successfully with no risks and best outcomes.PreplanningPreplanning always works in our favor, be it in any field and similarly, it does for Teams migration too. As soon as you are determined to migrate to Teams, make sure your source and destination are ready to undergo the process.Ensure that the users are set up and licensed on Microsoft Teams before you initiate the migration process.Pre-assess all the critical situations that might occur during the process is still going on and have backup plans to substitute the usage of the Teams platform during that duration unless its necessary to use it.Create admin accounts to monitor the migration processThe tool is self-sufficient to carry on the whole migration process but keeping a check on it manually always helps. Create new admin accounts beforehand on both the source and destination platforms so that the migration process can be easily tracked. Assessment is important and should not be skipped.Check for pre-existing duplicate namesThe source and destination might have few common named users or groups. These may or may not be intentionally same and might have different permissions sets or purposes. If you find same-named group names in the destination that you might not like to be merged to the new one, making little changes in their names can be a quick and easy fix.

Using our Saketa Teams migrator, you will have the ability to give the teams a new name before migrating them to the destination using the tool itself.Make a list of Users to be mappedThe source might bring along some orphan users who are present in the source but not in the destination. In such a case, Microsoft teams best practices include a bit of offline work on your part too to tackle any rare case of a technical glitch. It is recommended to maintain a personal checklist too to serve in an event of an emergency.With the help of User and Group mappings in the tool, you can map Unresolved users with a valid destination user.Devote enough time for MigrationTeams Migration might be tricky and time taking. As it is continuously used by so many users, its database keeps changing at a very high frequency. Thus, syncing it might take some time. It is quite important to make sure that all the collaboration activities are halted, and the migrator gets enough free time to carry on the migration process successfully.
