Option 1: Use whatismytenantid.com for finding your tenant/directory id:
Quick solution – works (at least) for all standard tenants:
- Navigate to https://www.whatismytenantid.com/
- Enter the domain associated with your Azure AD instance (often like contoso.onmicrosoft.com)
- Let ShareGate do their magic and find your tenant/directory id for you!
Thanks to Thomas Vochten for pointing this out in the comments section! ☺️
Didn’t work? Here’s another option!
Option 2: Find the tenant/directory id from your Azure AD admin portal
Please note, that as this is something Microsoft keeps changing, there’s a fair chance it’ll break at some point. Just leave me a comment, and I’ll fix it :)
Time needed: 2 minutes.
How to find out the Directory ID of your AAD tenant?
- Open your Azure AD portal and navigate to “Properties” blade
This link should take you there directly: https://aad.portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/ActiveDirectoryMenuBlade/Properties
Simply log in, and you should land on the Properties blade. If you don’t, see step 2 below! - If you landed to Azure AD home page instead of Properties, click “Properties” on the left hand side navigation – probably all the way down!
- You can see the ID on the page under “Directory ID”
