Pointers move bulk users

Make sure that you whitelist the traffic to office365 services to establish successful connection to the SFBO session.
If there are multiple number of users recommended to split up the batches and execute them from 2 servers.
Ensure the SSL traffic inspection, IP connection limits are excluded from Firewall/Proxy from the network side.
Moving this from a shared bandwidth might be a bit slower and moving this from a temporary dedicated IP address might provide a better performance.
This script uses -UseOauth switch. Make sure the Onpremise SFB servers are patched to the required version. Else use the legacy option by removing this switch. Recommended to run this first with few users list verify based on your environment and then later run for bulk users.
