This service will allow you to transfer Azure AD data from one tenant to another. We can move users and groups, saving all current logins. Please note that export of passwords from Azure AD is impossible, so saving the current user passwords will not work. The users will be assigned a temporary password they can use to create a permanent password of their own.

Staged Azure AD Tenant-to-Tenant migration describes the staged migration of users and Azure resource sharing setup. This scenario will suit you if your company has many users who use Azure AD authorization on their workstations, or for a large number of other resources hosted in Azure.
Staged migration allows a number of users to log into the new domain, but with the help of the access settings, it is also possible to save the ability to work with resources, SharePoint, or VM in the old domain. This approach allows reconfiguring of all PCs while saving data, using less human resources and reducing possible downtime.

You can also consider a cut-over migration, during which all data will be transferred at once.

3. Providing informational messages for users
4. Staged export of data from the source tenant in accordance with the migration plan and uploading data into a new tenant
5. Providing users of the new tenant with access to resources in the source tenant

Additional cost items not provided by the project #

1. Migration of other data from Azure, such as applications, mail, virtual machines, and databases (can be purchased as an additional service)
2. Resource sharing setup between the source tenant and the destination tenant
3. Workstation configuration. Please note that if employees use Azure AD authorization on their PCs, they will need to disconnect from the current tenant and connect to a new one; a new user profile will be created as a result.
