Exchange Online Migration From POP3
-
What is your PC using for DNS? I assume one of your AD servers, what are they using for DNS upstream resolution?
Try clearing the cache on your server, that might make it find the new internet DNS server faster.
-
Since O365 is now seeing the correct information for DNS records regarding Lync, once your PC does as well, it should work.

Yes...our Domain Controller is also our DNS server...it still pings to the old autodiscover...and also did a test account setup in outlook for auto discovery and it still attempted to go back to the POP3.
I just tried the Lync app on my phone via a 4G connection...can't find the server...so goes beyond our network?

Looks like MS will be doing a webinar for free next Tuesday.

I think I'm going to try to attend myself.

Good Morning...
I woke up this morning, tried Lync on my phone and Wi-Fi connection with my main email and it worked...guess it was propagation. Got to work and after a few failed sign in attempts, was able to sign into Lync...looks like some major progress can be made today.

You were able to add O365 to your account following either Jared's or my instructions?
Just wondering, which are you doing?

I did some Lync accounts first...came into several "fires" I had to put out. I just added my O365 account with autodiscover and it works. So, currently, I have my POP3 and O365 account now in Outlook. I can get this set up for the rest of my users now and then, as you suggested, do the rest tomorrow night.

Questions about this:
- create new local Outlook profiles for everyone
a) connect users to O365
b) attach POP3 account to profile, delivery of the POP3 items needs to go to Office 365
Attach POP3 to profile, basically, ADD AN ACCOUNT, right? And then when you say delivery of the items needs to go to O365, what do you mean? Just to clarify...
- create new local Outlook profiles for everyone

Correct, you'll just be adding a new account to the new profile you just created.
When you add the the POP3 account, you'll have to add it manually. In the past you might have been able to use autoconfigure, but you've now changed autoconfigure to work with Office 365, so you will have to choose the manual option.
You'll need to follow this page to join the boxes into one.
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/520Now when you add the POP3 account, Outlook will create a new PST/OST for it. You don't want this - you'll need to follow the instructions on the above link to make sure delivery of new messages goes to Outlook.
In the past the default was to deliver all messages into a single store, either Exchange or a local PST (whatever you were using first). Looks like MS changed this behavior starting with Outlook 2010.

Thanks...doing this now...slow going though with everything else that is going on...

Odd...I've not touched DNS at all today...about 10 minutes ago, no one on POP3 can send/receive from Outlook...the POP3 provider is up, webmail is done, IMAP is done...just POP3 in Outlook...dead in the water and of course, people are blaming the conversion to Exchange...

This is the error we are getting:
Task 'POP3 - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

Started working again...weird...

Probably just a service blip.

Agreed.

Quirks today...a few people on their new profile will have their internal emails sent to the Exchange account and for those still on the POP3 profiles, they do nto get them, so, I really can't let anyone work on the new O365 profile today...no problem, I switch back to the POP3 profile...the problem I have now, you can select the old profile, hit APPLY and OK and load Outlook and it goes to the Exchange profile...you tell it to prompt you for a profile...you choose POP3, it loads Exchange...any suggestion here? I've gotten a few to work after going back and forth between the two profiles...I do not want to delete the Exchange profile as I will use it tonight...

I'm not sure what you mean?
Are you saying that people who are sending messages from their new Oiffice 365 account, the people still on the old don't get the messages - OK yeah you're right, I didn't think of that (uhhh sorry - Looks like Jared's is really the only right way to do this - keep delivering everything to the PST and simply have the O365 as a separate box until the MX cut over).
The people still on the old won't get new messages sent from converted people, but those new messages are staying solely inside Office 365,

No sweat man...major learning experience...the thing is, your method is good...I will just create these new profiles but not RUN from them until tonight. The problem is now the aforementioned issue where Outlook is not detecting the Profile you want with out selecting between them, APPLY and OK a few times...
We didn't have really any issues but glad I've not had any issues...my boss is nervous about LOST e-mails but as long as the POP3 is sending to exchange during the MX records exchange, we should be good.
SO today, I will complete the profiles but keep them on the old one (provided Outlook doesn't keep quirking out on me)...tonight at 7PM, change MX records...wait...and wait and wait...test test test as it propagates...

What version of Outlook are you on?
does a reboot (or at least a log off/back on) make any difference?
