Rocky (Customer) asked a question.
Hello I'd like to move an Office 365 tenant from one Okta instance to another one. I was thinking of just duplicating the app settings in the new but I'm not sure if this will work as the domain names are different in each instance. We own both domains:
Okta Org 1: widget.com
MS Tenant: widget
Okta User login: user@widget.com
User email address: user@widget.com
Okta Org 2: doohickey.com
MS Tenant: widget
Okta User login: user@doohickey.com
User email address: user@widget.com
I'm basically looking to provide the users with their existing experience but through a different Okta instance.
Will this work?
Thanks in advance

You can do it - a single okta instance can support multiple o365 tenants (we've had up to 10 at one point). If you want help with the steps, let me know as there will need to be some work on the tenant side that needs to be done.
Hi @feok4 (feok4) , thanks for the info! Would this require any kind of data migration? How much downtime would there be?
There is no data migration needed unless you're consolidating tenants. If not, here is what i've done for something similar in the past:
These steps are high level but should be a good place to start. LMK if this helps.
@Rocky (Customer) Here are steps I outlined in an older post :
Here were steps we followed (hopefully this will help others):
* 4-5 days before migration, disable dirsync in the tenant via PS and remove the API config for the O365 app in Okta
* Verify the above is complete by running the following commands. NOTES - it must return disabled, not pending disabled
(Get-MSOLCompanyInformation).DirectorySynchronizationStatus
(Get-MsolCompanyInformation | select DisplayName,DirectorySynchronizationEnabled,DirSyncServiceAccount,LastDirSyncTime)
* Once the above is verified, test that you can manually change objects in the O365 tenant.
Thanks for those details! If a users exists in Okta Org 1 as user@org1.com but has a new account in Okta Org 2 as users@org2.com, will this method work? Or will the different domain name throw some sort of mismatch error? Sorry if I'm not grasping the concept here.
Not sure if I understand the question. User accounts are not based on the Okta org but rather based on the email address. For Ex, john.smith@domain.com can simultaneously exist in Okta Org1 and Okta Org2 at the same time.
