Back on topic, I found the msexchange.org guides to be very thorough. I used the 2007 to 2013 one over the weekend and 2007 to 2010 in the past.

I will admit, that I did ignore all the info on sizing and running the MS tools and shit.

Agreed - the sizing/drive layout seem to be where they are completely crazy.. the rest seems fine, even if occasionally a little light on documentation.

@JasGot said in Exchange 2010 (On-prem) Migration to Hosted Exchange/Office 365 Planning:

@wrx7m How did your migration go? Have you done any more? Just curious what tools (if any) you used......

I'm about to start a migration and need to decide if I am going to do it as a pst import, or a migration from on premise exchange to cloud, and if so, do I use the built-in migration tool at admin.exchange.microsoft.com or a third party tool.

I am interested in what you did and what the pros and cons were.

Thanks!

Ended up doing a migration using the standard MS tools. Been a few years now and am glad I did it.

Need to know anyone is using this feature and how benefit it is ? . Does the exchange share calendar work with rackspace email ? Does the resource mailbox is accessible by rackspace email users ?

They might now, but back when we were using Rackspace Email (which was excellent) it did not, so you had two completely independent pools of users. All that they could do was email each other.

If you're just messing around in a lab, why not download 2016 so you can familiarize yourself with the backend?

There's an apt phrase that I picked up while in Africa that applies well to this. It's not broken, it's just cheap.

Maybe we are just horrible but, whenever a user forgets to do something like this it's on them and up to their manager to enforce it. We don't make changes like this in a users account. If we actually did that something like that would need approval from the COO or CEO.

@Dashrender
For our environment it cost roughly 45K to migrate all data out of our third party Exchange server. This include 5 years worth of compliance achived data.

Why so expensive? Do you need to migrate the archive data? Can you leave it where it is until it expires?

Same sight existing user just called me complaining that the outlook 2007 client keeps locking up and crashing.

Said user is #3 in this list.

Just be thankful it isn't a PST file. (If it could even grow that large, which it can't.)

Interesting.

Frankly it only makes sense for MS to allow all their services access to online versions of Office whenever possible, for example your EOP1 plan - that's really cool that they will open an Excel sheet in Online Excel when using OWA, if they didn't it would severely limit the use (not that we weren't limited for decades).

This makes me wonder if there is a limit to the number of devices you can attach to an Exchange account?

10

20

sovled? no, is it a real issue, not really.

I still need to upgrade to Exchange 2016, now that WIndows 10 upgrade and my vacation is behind me.. I can look into this.

well, the initial export to PST failed. and i've already deleted the account from comcast. therefor i can't convert using outlook b/c it has to authenticate with the server that it no longer has an account on.

@Jason They can't connect to the domain network, they're force onto the guest network. As we required any devices that want to join the domain network, they must already be in the domain.

Additionally, they need to authenticate via RADIUS.

The guest network is vlan'd off.

@scottalanmiller What are you using for company email archiving? I no longer have a need for a solution that records up to 10 years, but always curious what others use.

We use all integrated with O365 these days.

Check out Waterford Technologies.

Glad that you got it working again.

It's a part of the Office 365 suite currently.

I actually tested the install on my work computer. There was no additional licensing that had to be dealt with. Download from the 365 portal and call it done.

Although I don't believe you are completely out of the woods just because you have a business Agreement (BA) with a provider you use that is housing Personal Health Information (PHI) - in fact I'm pretty sure that I'm suppose to request a result of their own audit to ensure they are doing what they are suppose to be doing.. only after collecting that yearly (though how I'm suppose to know it's valid is beyond me) would I be close to be indemnified.

That's possible, back when I was doing HIPAA all the time that was not the case but it does get updated regularly.

Knowing that it is valid is likely none of your concern. You can't know that audits are valid more or less by definition. You'd need the auditor to be audited and that auditor audited and so on and so forth.

True! Just tried and yes, it loses focus and nothing works after that till i do an Alt+Tab to come back!

I didn't even turn it on. From the description it sounds like a really bad idea. It's like autofiltering that takes more work than real filtering, isn't as reliable, is less predictable and then alerts you anyway completely defeating its own purpose.
