Microsoft 365 was unable to create the Microsoft Azure migration job

Symptoms

Sharegate displays the following error : 

Microsoft 365 was unable to create the Microsoft Azure migration job.

Error code

• IN-705-000
• IN-705-200

Details

This error occurs in Microsoft 365 when the creation of the Azure migration job failed. The most common reason for this error is because the Migration API functionality was not deployed on your tenant by Microsoft or is behaving incorrectly.

Solution

The solution to this issue is to contact the Microsoft's Microsoft 365 support team to discuss this issue.

Before contacting Microsoft, you can troubleshoot this issue by testing if the same error occurs in another site collection and in another library in the same site collection. Another useful piece of information you can provide them with is that when using the API's "CreateMigrationJob" function, the resulting GUID is empty. Don't worry, it should make sense to them :)
