Are these internal DG's? Or Distribution Lists to external SMTP addresses?

Generally, in most all Office 365 Migrations I've performed, DG's are recreated, not migrated.  (ie, export to csv and then use a script to create a new DG in the cloud with the csv data).

For "Nested DG's" you need to probably create a Dynamic DG instead.

I would like to find out if we will have any issues with nested distribution groups when we migrate to Office 365. Also, as I read it says that &quot;Any permissions on non-mailbox objects, such as distribution lists or a mail-enabled user, are not migrated&quot; What does this mean&quot;? How do we work around this and identify the explicit permissions? Please let me know if you have experience with this particular situation.<br />
<br />

Thank you very much

nested distribution groups in Office 365

Office 365 is a group of software plus services subscriptions that provides productivity software and related services to its subscribers. Office 365 allows the use of Microsoft Office apps on Windows and OS X, provides storage space on Microsoft's cloud storage service OneDrive, and grants 60 Skype minutes per month. Office 365 includes e-mail and social networking services through hosted versions of Exchange Server, Skype for Business Server, SharePoint and Office Online, integration with Yammer, as well as access to the Office software. All of Office 365's components can be managed and configured through an online portal; users can be added manually, imported from a CSV file, or Office 365 can be set up for single sign-on with a local Active Directory using Active Directory Federation Services.

Microsoft 365

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
