Network Home Folder to OneDrive Migration

Question

Hello,

Seeking advice.

My organization would like to migrate our employee's on-prem "Home" folder to OneDrive. We are planning on using the SPMT to accomplish this. Once the migration is complete...we plan on disabling the Home folder & strictly utilize OneDrive.

What do you all think the order of operation should be?

• Configure OneDrive GPO to silently log in user (some of our user's are seniors/old school). =)
• Configure folder redirection to OneDrive
• Configure SPMT to migrate on-prem "Home" folder to OneDrive
• Disable access to on-prem "Home" folder

Any feedback/advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

In my opinion, you should use Migration Tool to migrate all files and folders before resetting some policies on OneDrive. Because some policy settings are successful, I don't know if there will be some permission issues that cause the migration to fail.

If conditions permit, it is recommended that you can find a testing machine for a simple test.
