Recently, a 7500 person IT firm based in Detroit MI, divested many of their assets.
Many of the divisions went public or spun off
They needed to migrate their Corp based SharePoint 2007, 2010, 365 and non-SharePoint locations onto new Office 365 tenancies.
As a result, we spent this summer working.
We migrated 7000 Exchange accounts and 1TB of content using a variety of methods to each company’s new O365 domain.
We have had Dell Support, Share-Gate Support and MetaViz support calls each week (sometimes together) and have open tickets that are in their respective ticketing systems and communities.
Clockwork Software’s solution is strongly dependent on the files being stored on a file server and the paths being stored in SQL.
If you do NOT run any Pre Migration Analysis, you WILL fail
Plan what you and your Validation Team will be validating.
Metadata? Broken Links? Missing features.
Run Activity reporting to identify Most Active users
Communicate with those people regarding any new features that will be made available to them and their teams.
This “group” of leaders could be used in migration testing.
Take this migration effort as a opportunity to re-architect any Site Collections that have sprawled beyond their intended scope.
Identify all Webs in Site Collection that could be moved to another Site Collection.
You may have a DEV or TEMP site that will no longer be of use.
You can run a Storage Report to help identify these.
Save all InfoPath XSN files on your server that you created, if you don’t have them, regenerate the
List nonstandard SharePoint features
Users: Employees who are no longer with the company could possibly still be in the permission schema in SharePoint. Depending on how User Profile Synch was configured, they may have been already removed.
For a scrip to remove SharePoint users see: http://weblogs.asp.net/bsimser/powershell-tools-removing-orphaned-users-from-sharepoint
For SP2010 MySite Clean up job see http://www.harbar.net/archive/2011/02/10/account-deletion-and-sharepoint-2010-user-profile-synchronization.aspx
Orphans: When a new Site Collection is created, there are default SharePoint Groups (Owners, Members, Visitors). Often these are abandoned for inherited Permissions. If there are any empty groups, assure these also get deleted.
Empty the Recycle Bin. All of them. We all forget. Duh.
Large Lists: Pre-Migration reports will surely identify those lists with a large number of items, or large number of items in views. Your migration will benefit by applying best practices to these views and lists now.
Duplicates: These may NOT migrate and need to be Documented prior to migration and reapplied on the destination. See this post for a SP2010/2007 powershell http://www.pointbeyond.com/2011/08/24/finding-duplicate-documents-in-sharepoint-using-powershell

Site and List Templates used in the source environment must be available in the target if the tool is going to create new sites or lists during the operation.
To ensure all in use templates are available, this option will scan each site and list to identify the template type
The default list view threshold for optimal SharePoint perfomance is 5000 items.
This option will scan for and highlight any list that exceeds the total number of items defined in this parameter (default value is 5000). This is particulary important when migrating into SharePoint Online, as this value is not user configurable in online tenants.
Each tool gives a different depiction.
MetaLogix tool is shown here
Dell and MetaViz both do spreadsheets.
Either one shows total file counts, etc.
Discuss how long migrations may take
Tools refresh the cached content and settings, so constant refreshes are necessary
Each piece of content to migrate has to look at every feature that is associated with it.
