==============

Companies change, merge, sell, purchase each other, and we encounter requirements where it is a requirement to move to a new/other Azure AD tenant.

But…. That’s not a small thing. We requested through a Microsoft support ticket on how to do this, and hoping this was a small formality, and that Microsoft had some magic tricks of doing this. But they don’t. But I can explain the process we are on to achieve this.

1. Create Azure subscription on new tenant.
   
2. Buy a new required licenses in new CSP-subscription for D365FO DEV/TEST/PROD instance.
   
3. Add admin user on new tenant to the new LCS.
   
4. Setup new azure connector in existing LCS project with the new subscription.
   
5. Deploy new DEV/TEST/PROD environments for the new connector in the new tenant
   
6. Setup new VSTS in the new tenant.
   
7. Copy all checked-in code from old to new VSTS.
   
8. Import all checked-in code from new VSTS to new DEV environment.
   
9. Compile and install the code packages into the new stage environment.
   
10. Request DB copy from “old” PROD to the “old” stage environment.
    
11. Export an Azure back-pack from the “old” stage environment.
    
12. Import the Azure back-pack into the “new” Dev environment.
    
13. Run AdminUserProvisioning tool with admin user from new tenant to swap tenant.
    
14. Repopulate email settings, users and other settings lost by the copy.
    
15. Check, Check, Check….Fix, Fix, Fix.
    
16. Request DSE to copy new stage to new PROD (only possible once).
    
17. Check, Check, Check….Fix, Fix, Fix.
    
18. Suspend/end the “old” CSP subscription.
    

In the process you will lose all documents that is record attached/stored in the old environment. There are also some other expected issues.



Do expect to spend some time on such a process. And it’s a good thing to perform the DB copy two times (first time just for validation and test). Microsoft is looking into how to improve this process, but this is how we are performing it.

If any in the community have better ideas, feel free to share it
