Create OneDrive for business site collections for all users

For a successful OneDrive site migration in EdbMails, it's important to have the necessary OneDrive sites available on the target server. This can be achieved by creating OneDrive sites for all users on the target server, which ensures that the site collections are accessible for the migration process.

In addition, granting admin access to all OneDrive for Business site collections on both the source and target servers is necessary to ensure that the migration process has the required permissions to access and transfer data from the site collections.

Run the below PowerShell commands as an administrator to create the OneDrive sites on the target server for all the users

Command 1:

Command: Copy

Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement -Scope AllUsers

Command 8:

The above script is designed to create OneDrive for Business site collections for each user specified in a CSV file. Each site collection's URL will be in the format of https://<your_tenant>-my.sharepoint.com/personal/<user_upn>, where "<your_tenant>" is the name of your Microsoft 365 tenant and "<user_upn>" is the user principal name of each user. The owner of each site collection will be set to the corresponding user specified in the CSV file.

Grant admin access to all OneDrive for business site collections

Granting administrative access to all OneDrive for Business site collections allows a specified user to manage user permissions and settings for multiple site collections at once. This enables the user to perform administrative tasks across multiple site collections more efficiently, saving time and effort.
