I'm trying to migrate data and configurations from a CRM 2015 production environment into a sandbox environment of the same version. The environments are set up on different machines.
I've found many mentions of the Data Migration Utility/Tool that's supposed to make this an easy process, but I can't seem to find where to get this tool.
I've found instructions on how to use it for my purposes here, and this is the only place that seems to mention where to get it from, but it leads me to a post about the Microsoft nuget repository, and none of the packages make any mention of the Data Migration Tool. Another problem with the nuget approach is that my sandbox environment doesn't have internet access, so I would need to install the package manually through CLI, from what I understood. I attempted that with the "Microsoft.CrmSdk.CoreTools" package as it sounded close to what I'm looking for in name and content, but the install commands weren't working and a post mentioned a trick of changing the package extension to see the contents, and the package didn't have the Data Migration Tool at all, neither does it follow the directory structure mentioned in the guides.
I'm pretty confused about how to migrate the data using an elusive tool. Any help or relatively user-friendly alternatives would be appreciated.
