GSuite Calendar to Office 365 Calendars

Business IT/MSP Talk

Hey Everybody, Hope you are doing well!

I am the new IT at my my organization and they are in the middle of a migration from GSuite to Office365. Unfortunately they decided to migrate just the mail portion, and now we are left with contacts and Calendars.

We relay very heavily on Calendars. Basically, The back office can see every bodies Calendar, The remote managers have their calendar and have access to all of their assistants calendars.

What is the best way to implement this in Office 365.

Below are the two tools for this, though I will tell you that MS and Google G Suite do not always play well together.

Thanks!

The biggest issue I’m having trouble figuring out is we have multiple shared calendars and once I export from GSuite into O365, how do I setup or migrate the permissions.

Ah, you’re moving to Office 365 totally, right?

Yup, we have sharing set up with Google. But the issue comes that when the Googel accounts were created, the scheduler made the accounts, then logged in as that user and shared it with everybody that needed access.

The shift from G Suite to Office 365 can be featured both manually and with the assistance of an automated tool. The manual method can be performed if you have a short amount of data to migrate. It is a slow method and requires a lot of endurance while migrating. Good internet speed is also needed if you are looking for some reliable method then, you can for G suite to Office 365 tool.

Have you looked into BitTitan’s MigrationWiz?
I’ve only done one migration project with it, but it worked very well for me at scale. They have very good setup documentation which you’ll need to get the permissions set up correctly for the migration process. It’s not free and not really cheap, but it does a very good job and their support is great.

I have also had good experiences with BitTitan and would recommend it.

One thing thing I would note from experience is that if you migrate calendars from one system to another, you can migrate the calendar data to the new account but the calendar may not behave in the way people expect, particularly when it has been migrated from a system where it is integrated with the actual mailbox. So things like updates to calendar entries may not propagate as they would have in the source system.

Probably the best solution is to give the end users read-only access to the old calendar data for reminders and reference purposes but get them to adopt their new M365 calendars as soon as possible. Sometimes people like to cling to their old calendar and the longer this goes on, the longer you will have issues.
