Allow admin to transfer OneDrive Content of a terminated user to another user... Just like G-Suite Google/Drive does.

When we handle a termination of a user on G-Suite, it takes me 2 seconds to x-fer their mail and Google drive/docs to their manager. When we handle a termination on the MS offering - it takes 2 DAYS!!! I have to give myself permission to their one drive and mailbox and manually export content, only to then re-upload it to the new users drive/mailbox.... YUCK!!!!

Additionally - any shared links to content in their OneDrive are now broken. In Google when you transfer someone's drive to a new person, all those share links, permissions, etc remain.

The MS solution is years behind Google from an ease of administration and handing of terminations perspective.

I have done several migrations from G Suite to Office 365 over the years.

The Data Migration tool under the Office 365 Portal->Setup-> Data migration is very handy to simplify an IMAP migration (vs using the Exchange Admin and a CSV file + Migration batch etc), but from my experience is limited with respect to excluding certain folders (or labels in Gmail's case) from being migrated to Exchange.

For example, GSuite/Gmail by default has labels such as "All Mail", "Starred", "Important", "Spam", and "Trash". Email in the All Mail folder/label will be migrated across, even though it'll also reside in the Gmail Inbox too, so you end up with copies of email between those folders.

You can exclude certain IMAP folders/labels via the Exchange Admin CSV Migration method. Before you kick off the IMAP migration, you can choose not to migrate those folders via adding "[Gmail]/All Mail", and "[Gmail]/Starred" etc to the list of exclusions.

That is doable for someone with experience, but would be great if part of the Data Migration tool under the Office 365 Portal allowed you to exclude unrequired IMAP folders\labels, perhaps via a listing of the IMAP folders where you simply click a checkbox to exclude those folders/labels that you don't want to bring across then Start Migration.

Hi Microsoft,

We notice this synchronization issue from Outlook forwarding function.

We understand there are few ways to do it, via O365 Outlook portal and via O365 Exchange Admin Console. But I notice that whatever forwarding that was setup in O365 Outlook portal will not be sync to EAC.

We notice the issue when some email accounts was de-activated and some email accounts received bounce-back errors because there were forwarding setup done under O365 Outllok portal but we cannot find it in EAC.

EAC settings and configuration are for Admin purpose

O365 Outlook portal settings and configurations are for Actual user purpose.

So if users create their own settings, it will not sync to EAC but still the function works, but doing troubleshooting might be tricky and confusing.

This 2 function should sync up, wether it was configured via EAC or via O365 Outlook portal

As a public school district, we promote Microsoft tools for use with our students and staff. As a M365 licensed organization, we continually run into comparisons with Google’s offerings from various individuals.

We have many faculty members who have started to leverage Microsoft Office Online tools more (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and needing to embed these files in third-party learning tools like our learning management system (LMS) Canvas. Faculty use the sharing and embed codes provided in Office Online and then try to embed these files (namely PowerPoint) in Canvas and while it looks like it works, students are unable to view the publish files. As you can imagine both our faculty and staff are equally frustrated with this and to add insult to injury some staff prove how easy it is when they attempt the same task using a Google slide deck.
