Course 06 · Founder cohort forming
Nine modules on running a SharePoint migration that lands without user complaints and without permission surprises. Discovery patterns that catch what auto-scanners miss. Permission mapping across tenants. Throttling reality vs the marketing collateral. Restructuring during migration. Cutover strategy for hybrid and cloud-to-cloud. And the post-migration verification programme that proves the move actually worked.

Why this course exists
The tool moves the files. The tool does not tell you that the sponsor site owner doesn't work here anymore, that the permission group you're mapping to doesn't exist in the destination, that Microsoft Graph is going to throttle you at 5% of the throughput the vendor marketing collateral quoted, or that the "identical folder structure" you promised the client is now a decision they need to revisit because half the folders shouldn't exist.
This course teaches the discovery, planning, and verification work around the migration — the parts the vendor collateral skips. Built on real cross-tenant SharePoint migrations across pharma, education, municipal, and professional services clients. Every pattern has been shipped. Every anti-pattern has been paid for.
Curriculum
Each module includes video walkthrough, written reference, runbook templates, and a knowledge-check quiz. Hands-on labs use MigrationFox's own migration engine for cloud-to-cloud scenarios.
Beyond the tool's auto-scan. Interviews with content owners. The four discovery lenses (structure, sensitivity, usage, ownership). Building the site-by-site decision register that drives every downstream choice.
Group mapping from source tenant to destination tenant. Handling users who don't exist in the destination. Guest access preservation. Group nesting flattening. The three permission-mapping strategies and when each applies.
Microsoft Graph throttling limits. SharePoint Migration API vs Graph API vs CSOM throughput. Wave planning to avoid throttling. The Microsoft "unlimited" narrative vs the observed 429 rates on production tenants.
When "same structure at destination" is wrong. Folder consolidation. Splitting oversized sites. Renaming standards. Metadata migration and enrichment. The four questions to ask before you agree to preserve legacy structure.
On-premises SharePoint to SharePoint Online. AD to Entra ID identity mapping. Delta synchronisation windows. User communication cadence. Bookmark update workflow. The four cutover models for hybrid and their tradeoffs.
Cross-tenant SharePoint migration. Multi-geo considerations. Guest access preservation across tenants. Domain rename impact. The three cutover models for cloud-to-cloud and when each applies.
The verification programme that proves migration success. File count reconciliation. Permission spot-check sampling. Version history preservation. Metadata verification. The four-week post-migration hyper-care runbook.
Common migration failure modes: throttling, permission drift, corrupted files, orphaned users, incomplete metadata. Detection patterns. Recovery playbooks. The three "the migration failed silently" scenarios you need to catch before the client does.
Migration as a running programme, not a one-shot project. Steering cadence. Wave planning and re-planning. Status reporting. Managing user expectations. The three communication moments that determine whether the migration is remembered as a success or a disaster.
