Hey guys, this my first time posting here and I’m hoping there’s some kind soul out there that has dealt with the some of hurdles we are trying to surpass

We’re in the process of getting a plan in place for migrating all existing apple devices into Apple MDM/Mosyle. Prior to this all the apple ids are unmanaged generic ids. The problem is, we have about 100 accounts that are conflicting with our domain and will need to be recreated under a managed Apple ID, in order to federate the domain. I don’t want to lose the existing important data on the devices and have figured using Cisdem ContactsMate to transfer the contacts to a new iCloud, then manually transferring the photos to the new iCloud. The main concern now is, what would be the best route for transferring iMessage conversation history? Keep in mind it would be from unmanaged iPhone to an enrolled MDM iPhone. Open to suggestions and ideas on what’s the best way to tackle this.
