[Solved] how to do user mapping between SharePoint 2007/2013 to SPO online using Metalogix Content Matrix script

The Problem

During the process of migrating a task list from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint Online (SPO) through Metalogix Content Matrix, I encountered an issue. This arose due to disparities between the user format used in SharePoint 2007, which followed the format “domain/user” as present in Active Directory, and the format used in SPO, which follows the format “user@domain.com“.

To address this challenge, two options are available. For smaller user sets, users can be manually mapped. For larger sets, an automated mapping process can be employed through the use of a script.
