The new Multi Geo preview functions for SharePoint online has been activated. Yeah!!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was able to move some sites from my SharePoint Online EMEA location to the NAM location by using following commands in Powershell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all you have to connect to your source SPO location:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connect-SPOService -Url https:\/\/[your-domain]-admin.sharepoint.com<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Then you have to think about the site collection, you want to move. Is it a classic site? Is it a O365 Group or Team-Site? Is it a site which is connected to a PowerBI space?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s begin with the easiest one: Classic site. You only need the URL of your site collection and the destination location. Let’s verify if the movement will work by using this command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start-SPOSiteContentMove -SourceSiteUrl https:\/\/[your-domain].sharepoint.com\/sites\/[sitecollection] -DestinationDataLocation [Location] -ValidationOnly<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The result with the successful validation state should look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Ok that’s great! So now we can move the site. But wait a second before you delete the „-ValidationOnly“ option and hit enter. Microsoft introduced a new feature and this is what we all waited for a very long time. We can finally change the URL of our site collection! Check out this command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start-SPOSiteContentMove -SourceSiteUrl https:\/\/[your-domain].sharepoint.com\/sites\/[sitecollection] -DestinationUrl https:\/\/[your-domain]+[Location].sharepoint.com\/sites\/[NewSiteCollection] -ValidationOnly \n#Example:\nStart-SPOSiteContentMove -SourceSiteUrl https:\/\/contoso.sharepoint.com\/sites\/DesignTest -DestinationUrl https:\/\/contosonam.sharepoint.com\/sites\/DesignTemps -ValidationOnly <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
 The result with the successful validation state should look like this: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Yeah!!!! So let’s move the site collection with included renaming using this command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start-SPOSiteContentMove -SourceSiteUrl https:\/\/[your-domain].sharepoint.com\/sites\/[sitecollection] -DestinationUrl https:\/\/[your-domain]+[Location].sharepoint.com\/sites\/[NewSiteCollection]\n#Example:\nStart-SPOSiteContentMove -SourceSiteUrl https:\/\/contoso.sharepoint.com\/sites\/MovementTest -DestinationUrl https:\/\/contosonam.sharepoint.com\/sites\/MovementTemps <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Now your site collection will be moved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This will take some time, depending on the content which has to be moved. You can get the status by using this command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get-SPOSiteContentMoveState -SourceSiteUrl https:\/\/[your-domain].sharepoint.com\/sites\/[siteCollection]\n#Example:\nGet-SPOSiteContentMoveState -SourceSiteUrl https:\/\/contso.sharepoint.com\/sites\/MovementTest -verbose<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This is all you need to know about the move of a classic site. I will describe the move of a O365 group soon and then I will also create a blog article about the known issue after the move of a site. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
