BitTitan does support migration from or to GoDaddy-hosted Office 365 environments. To perform a mailbox-only migration, simply follow the GoDaddy-Hosted Office 365 to Microsoft O365 (Exchange Online) Mailbox Migration Guide (or any guide including Office 365 as an endpoint) and use your regular GoDaddy admin credentials in your MigrationWiz endpoint creation.
Consider that some additional steps are required at the source to migrate from GoDaddy OneDrive for Business, SPO classic team sites, Office 365 unified groups, or Microsoft Teams. This guide is intended to be used in correlation with the proper migration guide, not as a stand-alone document.
Important
The proposed domain guidance is based on GoDaddy Service as of 10/14/2022.Migration Steps
Before the beginning, there are some steps you may wish to take. More details are provided in your scenario-specific migration guide.
- Get started for free with a BitTitan account here.
- Purchase User Migration Bundle licenses for user mailboxes and Office 365 Groups.
- Purchase MigrationWiz-Mailbox Licenses for non-user (shared, room, and equipment) mailboxes.
- Purchase Shared Document Licenses for SharePoint Online Document Libraries for classic SharePoint Online sites and Microsoft 365 Group sites
- Purchase MigrationWiz-Collaboration Licenses for Microsoft Teams if those are being migrated.
Set Up Admin Credentials
Regular GoDaddy credentials will not work in these environments. Use the admin@NETORGxxx.onmcrosoft.com account the GoDaddy tenant comes with as the service account.
- Log in to the Microsoft Azure portal with your GoDaddy admin credentials to find this account.
- Click on the account and choose "reset password."
If you are not performing a Microsoft Teams migration, proceed directly to the endpoint creation steps mentioned below.
Microsoft Teams Migrations Only
To migrate Microsoft Teams, you must assign a Teams license from a donor user to the .onmicrosoft.com account. The only way to do this is via PowerShell by following the steps below.
- Create a donor user from the GoDaddy portal.
- Purchase a GoDaddy Office365 license and assign it to the donor user just created.
- Once the donor account is licensed and set up, strip the license from the donor user and apply it to the admin@NETORGxxx.onmicrosoft.com account discovered above, via PowerShell.
- Install the Az Module running the following script in PowerShell:
Install-Module Az.Accounts -RequiredVersion 2.12.1 -AllowClobber -Scope AllUsers
PowerShell AZ.Accounts Module Version
Please keep in mind that the required PowerShell AZ.Accounts module version is 2.12.1. Please take a look at the following information in case you do not have this version.-
If you have a previous version, run the following cmdlet to upgrade it.
if((Get-InstalledModule -Name Az ).Version.Major -le 10){
Install-Module AZ -Force -Confirm:$false -AllowClobber -
If you have a 2.12.3 version or above, the command "
connect-azaccount
" fails with the error "Method 'get_SerializationSettings' in type.".
This is a Microsoft-known issue, for more information, please refer to this article.
As a workaround, run the following script that removes the latest version of Az.Accounts and installs the supported version.if ((Get-module -Name Az.Accounts).Version -ge "2.12.2")
{
Uninstall-Module Az.Accounts -AllVersions -Force -Verbose
Install-Module Az.Accounts -RequiredVersion 2.12.1 -AllowClobber -Scope AllUsers
}
else {
Install-Module Az.Accounts -RequiredVersion 2.12.1 -AllowClobber -Scope AllUsers
}
-
- Run the following cmdlet to strip the license from the donor user. Replace donor@yourdomain.com and admin@NETORGxxxonmicrosoft.com with your credentials as outlined above.
Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Force -Confirm:$false -AllowClobber
Import-Module MSOnline
$credential = Get-Credential
Connect-MsolService -credential $credential
Connect-AzAccount -credential $credential
$token = (Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceTypeName MSGraph -ErrorAction Stop).token
$token = ConvertTo-SecureString $token -AsPlainText -Force
Connect-MgGraph -AccessToken $token -NoWelcome -ErrorAction Stop
$donorUser = 'donor@domain.com'
$admin = 'admin@domain.onmicrosoft.com'
$donorMsolUser = Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $donorUser
$donorMsolUserLicense = Get-MgUserLicenseDetail -UserId $donorUser
$msolUserAccountSkuID = $donorMsolUserLicense.skuid
Set-MgUserLicense -UserId $UPN -AddLicenses @() -RemoveLicenses @{SkuId = $msolUserAccountSkuID
- Assign the license to the migration service account.
$addLicenses = @(
@{
SkuId = $msolUserAccountSkuID
}
)
Set-MgUserLicense -UserId $userPrincipalName -AddLicenses $addLicenses -RemoveLicenses @()
Endpoints
Please consider the following information for all migration guides.
Create the appropriate endpoint for your source in MigrationWiz, as directed in your migration guide. Each endpoint has its required steps and information, but in place of admin credentials, enter the admin@NETORGxxx.onmicrosoft.com account and password information you just created.
Migration
GoDaddy support will not release your domain from their tenant until they delete all your user accounts and all the other objects with their data.
This means you must 100% complete your migration with MigrationWiz before asking GoDaddy support to release your domain.
The following processes must be completed before asking for a domain release. These steps are outlined in your scenario-specific migration guide.
- Pre-stage migration pass in MigrationWiz.
- Full (delta) migration pass in MigrationWiz.
Once you have confirmed that all your data has been transferred successfully, and have verified that there are no outstanding errors, begin the domain removal process:
- Call GoDaddy support for user account deletion and domain removal.
- This will begin the process of deleting all the information. Be sure your migration has been completed successfully before initiating this process.
Manually Delete the Domain Without Deleting User Accounts
Instead of having GoDaddy release the domain, you can perform this process manually at your own risk. Please consider that BitTitan Support does not support GoDaddy domain changes.
- Run the pre-stage migration pass in MigrationWiz as directed in your migration guide.
- Remove the domain from GoDaddy with the cmdlets below after removing the domain from all tenant objects.
- Run a full (delta) migration pass in MigrationWiz as directed in the migration guide.
Remove Federation with GoDaddy
Import-Module MSOnline
Connect-MsolService
$domain = "yourDomain.com"
Set-MsolDomainauthentication –Authentication Managed –DomainName $domain
Get-MsolDomain
Remove your Domain From All the Msol Objects
$goDaddyTenantDomain = @((Get-MsolDomain |?{$_.Name -match '.onmicrosoft.com'
-and $_.Name -notmatch '.mail.'}).Name)
$msolUsersWithDomain = @(Get-MsolUser -All | ? {$_.UserPrincipalName -match
$domain})
This is an example of how the UPNs can be renamed for you to build your own PowerShell script:
$msolUsersWithDomain | % {Set-MsolUserPrincipalName -ObjectId $_.objectId -NewUserPrincipalName ($_.UserPrincipalName.Split("@")[0]+ "@" +$goDaddyTenantDomain);}$msolUsersWithDomain = @(Get-MsolUser -All | ? {$_.UserPrincipalName -match
$domain})
If this is an Exchange migration, the domain must be deleted from all Exchange Online recipients before you can delete the domain yourself.
Remove Your Domain From All the Exchange Online Recipients
In the Exchange Online PowerShell interface, run the following:
$exoRecipientsWithDomain = @(Get-Recipient -ResultSize Unlimited | where {$_.PrimarySmtpAddress
-match "$Domain" -or $_.EmailAddresses -match "$Domain"} | select PrimarySmtpAddress,EmailAddresses,RecipientType,RecipientTypedetails
| Sort-Object -Property RecipientType,RecipientTypedetails)
$EmailAddressToDelete = ($primarySmtpAddress -split "@")[0]+"@"+$Domain
$newEmailAddress = ($primarySmtpAddress -split "@")[0]+"@"+$goDaddyTenantDomain
This is an example of how an email address with the domain can be removed from the mailbox and the new email address with the GoDaddy tenant domain can be added:
Set-Mailbox $PrimarySmtpAddress -EmailAddresses @{remove="SMTP:$EmailAddressToDelete"}
Set-Mailbox $PrimarySmtpAddress -EmailAddresses @{add="SMTP:$newEmailAddress"}
Remove Domain From GoDaddy
Remove-MsolDomain -DomainName "yourDomain.com" –Force
