Storage Question

absolutely true, but if management is hounding him...
One thing, he'll get practice P2Ving, and upgrading Hyper-V that way.
-
True
He could practice that without moving production over too -
Or he could use the spare time to move to hosted email and eliminate that from the migration process when 2016 releases

OK that covers one day.. what else?
-
Then he can spend months talking about what an awesome experience that was.

I did throw all these ideas onto another forum, I will say. I'm glad I was directed here, though.
And trust me, I have been practicing with Hyper-V. I've set up quite a few test servers on 2012 R2, Hyper-V. The whole nine yards. Now I ready to rumble!
Though highly considering what you are saying!

I was actually thinking that.

That's definitely what I would do. Practice, migrate, prioritize. You can have everything tested and ready with release candidates before it is time to go live. You can be SO ready

This should probably go into another thread, but ... what hosted Exchange platform do you all like?
I've been using Office 365 for my own e-mail.
I have to co-setup, and all my e-mail forwards to my onmicrosoft account. Works great. And it's cheap. Even if you do the $8 month option.
But heaven forbid if you nead tech support.

it's to late for you now.. but if you move a company that way..make sure you buy O365 from a reseller.
the cost is exactly the same.. but they become your support.
they can open tickets with MS for you often getting better results. -

Ha ha, hardly. But it IS a record for people closely watching a community side by side comparison. It's very new that people have started to post the same topics here and somewhere else. And pretty consistently the activity here is about 800% higher. This one is, thus far, about 1,200% high and the other community had the thread a week before we had it here. So the minute by minute comparison was 720x high activity here after the first week there.
So statistically it is a really important thread after several like it over the past week. But it is the first to so dramatically break the 1,000% barrier and in such a rapid fashion.

Definitely post a new thread.

Why is that?
Had to look what that was in reference too
While I think you can add a reseller to your account, they won't have the same type of access I don't believe as they would if they sold you the account originally. -
@Minion-Queen would know about the O365 stuff... but maybe you really need to talk to @art_of_shred instead, now that he's client facing

Oh I was figuring I'd just switch over to a reseller.

To a partner, not a reseller. Go to a reseller and you get less, not more. Go to a partner and you get more. Resellers like GoDaddy can shave the price but you lose control that you otherwise have.
