Laptop Migration is a groundbreaking feature introduced by Cloudiway - the only solution on the market to migrate Azure AD Joined and Registered devices between Microsoft 365 tenants.
Cloudiway introduces the only solution on the market to migrate Azure AD Joined and Registered devices between Microsoft 365 tenants.
This solution migrates Azure AD Joined and Azure AD Registered devices between two Microsoft 365 tenants. It also supports Hybrid scenarios, making it the complete solution for M&A and tenant consolidation projects.
During mergers and acquisitions, organizations often need to consolidate their Microsoft 365 tenants. While mailbox and file migration is well-understood, device migration has remained a significant challenge - until now.
Migration Challenges
Laptop migration poses several unique challenges that Microsoft does not address natively:
Azure AD Registration
Microsoft does not have built-in mechanisms to transfer a device from one Azure AD to another.
Office License Migration
Microsoft does not provide transparent solutions for transferring and reactivating Office licenses.
OneDrive Synchronization
OneDrive Sync agent cannot be automatically reconfigured to synchronize with the destination tenant.
Outlook Profile Migration
Outlook profiles are tied to the source tenant and must be reconfigured for the target tenant mailbox.
Hybrid Scenarios
Complex environments with both cloud and on-premises components require special handling.
Cloudiway's Laptop Migration feature addresses all of these challenges in a single, automated solution.
How It Works
The migration process is centrally managed and highly automated:
Agent Installation
A local agent is installed on each laptop to handle the migration process.
Central Management
Migration is managed from the Cloudiway administration console with full visibility.
Schedule Migration
Administrator triggers or schedules migrations from the User List.
Automatic Execution
Local agent connects to Cloudiway and begins migration at scheduled time.
Administrators have full visibility and control over the migration process from the Cloudiway console. You can monitor progress, troubleshoot issues, and ensure all devices are successfully migrated.
What Happens During Migration
During the migration process, several key components are handled automatically:
Azure AD Registration
- Devices disconnected from source tenant
- Registered with target tenant
- Seamless transition for users
Office Licenses
- Source tenant licenses removed
- Auto-switch to target licenses
- No manual reactivation needed
OneDrive & Outlook
- OneDrive Sync reconfigured
- Outlook profile auto-migrated
- Minimal user disruption
For Azure AD Registered devices, the migration process breaks the connection to the source tenant to allow the device to register with the new target tenant seamlessly.
