So have Two office 365 tenants  - that have to migrate, so it ends up in already existance of company-b.com

Company/tenant = @company-a.com

Company/tenant = @company-b.com

So all company-a mailboxes must be migrated to company-b. What is the best way to archive that ?

With the build in migration tool in exchange online or some third party tools. There are only about 5-10 users so not many.

Overall requirement is also that if any send mail to company-a.com it should still end up in the migrated mailbox of company-b.com, so mails are not lost, if any use the old domain name

Hi,@JohnNaguib

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

For so many users, manual export/import would be the least expensive and probably the fastest option.

If you want if someone sends an email to company-a.com, it should still end up in company-b.com's migration mailbox. You can refer to the steps below:

  1. After migrating the mailboxes, add and verify the domain company-a.com to the company-b.com tenant.
  2. Configure email forwarding or transport rules to ensure that emails sent to company-a.com addresses are delivered to the corresponding company-b.com mailboxes.
  3. Test to make sure that emails are correctly being received and that all data has been migrated successfully. Update DNS records for company-a.com to point to the new tenant's email servers.
