Migrate site from On Prem to SharePoint Online

Question

Is there a way to migrate a SharePoint site from an On Prem environment to SharePoint Online environment using PowerShell? Third-Party apps won't work here

I don't have access to the the On Prem server neither the web but I do have full admin rights for the SharePoint Online. (someone with access to the server could run PowerShell commands there to export the web)

I found this guide from a Microsoft blog post but as far as I can read there it is only working for migration of Doc Libraries and List, not an entire site or site collection, or am I wrong?

Also, I still don't know if this is SharePoint 2010 or 2013. Trying to find out.

Any help more than welcome!

Answer 1

You're using SharePoint 2010, If you see:

• The Site Actions button is used to get to all SharePoint 2010's settings.
• Home is a button rather than a link.
• The Quick Launch bar is preset with Libraries, Lists, and Discussions.

You're using SharePoint 2013, If you see:

• There's a ribbon but no app launcher*, and only "SharePoint on the title bar.
• To switch between apps, there is a top menu bar.

However, for SharePoint on premises to SharePoint Online Migration:

• Export the data from the SharePoint 2010 environment using Export-SPWeb.
• Convert the Exported package to the SPO Migration Package using the SharePoint Online Management Shell.
• Upload the SPO Migration Package to your Azure Storage account.
• Submit the Migration Job.
