When you set up your Google Workspace account, you can import your business data as part of the setup process.
Import Microsoft users
If you have a Flexible Plan for Workspace, you can import up to 10 users from Microsoft Exchange Online when you set up your Workspace account. If you have an Annual/Fixed-Term Plan, you need to add more licenses before you can import users during Workspace setup. For details, go to Add licenses or change purchase cap.
The import process doesn't delete or modify existing users in Exchange Online. Instead, user information is copied to Workspace.
To complete these steps, you need super administrator access in Workspace and global administrator access in Microsoft. You complete these steps in the Google Admin console during the setup process. When your domain is set up, you have options to import your business data, manage your domain health, or explore premium Workspace features.
To import users from Microsoft during Workspace setup:
- Select Go to Import tool.
- Select Microsoft
Continue. - Select Connect.
- Select the account you want to connectAccept.
- To review the users that will be imported, select View users.
- Select Start import.
- To continue setting up your Microsoft account while the user import runs, select Continue with setup.
After each user is imported, you get an email with Workspace sign-in instructions. Be sure to forward the email to a secondary email address for the user that you imported.
When your users are completely imported, use the data import tool to import the users' emails, calendars, and contacts. For details, go to What's imported from Exchange Online?.
