Distribution List Migration in Office 365
Migrate distribution lists between Office 365 tenants with Cloudiway.
Overview
Cloudiway's mailbox migration tool includes a dedicated feature for managing distribution list migrations between Office 365 tenants. The tool helps identify distribution lists in source tenants and provisions them in target environments.
The setup process mirrors the workflow for shared mailboxes or room/equipment mailboxes, making it familiar if you've used those features.
