Multiple forests, Two Azure AD tenants

Source Environment - Forest A /Tenant A

  • Users are synchronised with Azure AD via AAD Connect

Target Environment - Forest B /Tenant B

  • Users are synchronised with Azure AD via AAD Connect +Exchange Hybrid

We have a scenario where we need to migrate set of user mailboxes from source Environment to target environment (tenant to tenant migration). To facilitate this can we sync these user identities from Source Environment (Forest A) to the Target tenant while having/keeping the same setup (AAD Connect) in source environment ? So Source users will be synchronised to two tenants using two AAD connect servers in each site. Is this supported?

Regards,

    Thank you for asking this question on the Microsoft Q&A Platform.

    I understand that you require to synchronize your AD DS to more than one Azure AD Tenant.

    That requirement is supported
