RE: Office 365 Email Migration steps - is there a better way?

2013-04-11 Thread Brian Desmond
This is very well documented on the O365 site and Technet.

There are a number of options Microsoft supports for doing this - I'd use one. 
In your case, a Simple Exchange Migration would likely work. You could use the 
Staged or full-on Hybrid options too. For an SBS sized environment that seems 
overkill to me.

Thanks,
Brian Desmond

Subject: Office 365 Email Migration steps - is there a better way?

Since we've been on the subject of Office 365, I was wondering if anyone has a 
high level set of steps they use for migrating user email from on premise to 
Office 365 - on premise outllook client is XP or up. On Premise Exchange server 
is 2008 SBS.

I've done a few and have some steps that require manual changes to the user's 
outlook profile on their in house computers.

Basically -
1) Verify the on-premise AD account is synced and enabled through the portal
2) Connect to user's system and login to office 365 portal to verify their 
local software is good
3) Setup the migration script
4) Run the migration/verify all good
5) Go back to user's system and create a new Outlook profile (in case of 
problems) that points to Office 365
6) Login using new Outlook profile and verify mail is working
7) Delete old Profile
8) Advise user how to login to portal, help them setup their mobile phone, etc 
for Outlook

Is there an easier/better way ?

Yes that's correct, there is a Download Software link.

 

OWA 2013 is the web based option provided on new plans from now on (Wave 15
was recently made available).  Existing customers are being moved over but
it will take some time until it is completed.

Active sync will be fine.

 

If you need internal devices such as printers etc to send mail Office
365 doesn't provide this facility.  Look at running a different mail
server for that  task or even direct them to your isp's mail server if
you have that option.  

 

Sharepoint documents can be access from Windows Explorer on the users
computers with Skydrive Pro.  This feature recently became available in
Wave 15.  Previously you could set up a network drive that pointed
directly at the Sharepoint document library or you could use Sharepoint
workspace.  I haven't used Skydrive Pro yet but it is the way to go and
it is baked in to Office 2013 so it is easy for users to access.

 

Public folder support is also now available with Wave 15.

 

For that number of employees you should look at ADFS to handle the
authentication side of things.  That isn't a small/quick task so read up
on it (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj151794.aspx )  

In smaller environments the Office 365 sign assistant does an average
job(as does the Office 365 sync in 2011/2012 Essentials) but it would be
a nightmare in large environments.

 

ADFS also makes sense for the migration phase because unless you have a
big internet pipe and a very lengthy outage window you will have some
angry users waiting for access to their email.  The problem with that is
Exchange 2003 isn't supported.  So you'll need to think carefully about
how to handle the migration.  https://www.migrationwiz.com/ is a popular
solution that would probably be beneficial to you.

 

I'd also be looking at having your users use OWA initially until you
have deployed Office 2013.

 

James.

We have no sharepoint currently so Office apps are good on the cloud as

We would want some public folder type access.

We use SQL mail to send some not customer related emails and would want

Printers, switches, and Firewalls sent smtp traffic through the internal

Would it pass a PCI audit or HIPAA requirements?

I've got two domains, one hosted and one hybrid using O365.  One is for
Sharepoint/Exchange and the other is Lync.  Works great.

RE: Office 365

2013-04-03 Thread Mike Hoffman
You might need to look at integration with your current setup and if you need 
to integrate the email sign-on with the domain account. You can co-exist 
current email services with O365 (with a few issues). You can now get public 
folders but there are a few slight differences. If you have an existing (or ISP 
hosted) domain then you can use that for outgoing device mail rather than using 
a mailbox. To get all the full features you need to start planning on using 
Office 2013 - so that means windows 7/8 on the desktop - but you can move to 
that over time.

Not sure about encryption as we have not yet looked at that feature.

Our Exchange 2003 has ActiveSync that has about 35 ipad/iphone/tablet/droids

We use blat to bounce emails off our internal server, we would want to be able 
to do something like that going forward.
We have no sharepoint currently so Office apps are good on the cloud as long as 
the data files are able to be saved to the Network drives in house.
We would want some public folder type access.
We use SQL mail to send some not customer related emails and would want to be 
able to continue that going forward.
Printers, switches, and Firewalls sent smtp traffic through the internal email 
server.  We would like to continue doing that in the future.

Hope that answers your questions??

Re: Office 365

2013-04-03 Thread Bill Songstad
Yes, 99% of our users use OWA primarily.It is the flavor that
comes with Exchange 2010 I think.  Pretty robust, but those that
manage calendars a lot stick to their guns on standard Outlook.
Definitely some interface differences to get used to, but the
functionality all seems to be there if not the snappyness of local
Outlook.

For this sized environment you are much better off using SBS 2011 Essentials as 
it has Office 365 single sign on integration.  It’s a plugin that keeps the

SBS 2011E will cover your storage requirements as well.

Hi folks.  Just fishing for input here. I've quoted a solution to client with 
two options. One is to purchase a new server/storage platform and have their 
email and file sharing services local - eg SBS (currently on SBS 2008).
They are small - 25 users, 4 locations.
 
I also quoted Office 365 on the E1 or E3 plan, leaving some local storage at 
each site with a logon DC.
 
However, from what I read, if we want to use 365 with AD FS to allow single 
sign on and internal/external domain sync, we would need to build up to 4 
additional servers(see below) to allow this.
1) Computer to run AD sync tool
2) 2 AD FS servers for load balancing (or use existing DC)
3) AD FS Proxy 1 to 3 servers in an extranet
 
Is that the only way to implement 365 by adding more servers and dedicating 
them to these roles, or do you not use the AD FS to allow single sign on, etc. ?
 
Thanks for any input.

RE: Speaking of Office 365

2012-07-23 Thread Mike Hoffman
What you would be looking for would be the Server 2012 Essentials product (new 
name for SBS 2011 Essentials). This would be one server on one site doing the 
AD/Office 365 Integration ‘Lite’ and then you should be able to use a 
foundation or essentials server at each site using a remote access technology.

Bearing in mind that the feature set has not been fully announced you might 
even be able to do Direct Access rather than dedicated VPN site-to-site for 
file access, sharing and permissions, and the only issue might be a delay in an 
on-premise password change replicating to the cloud hosted exchange. If they go 
beyond 25 users then they would simply upgrade to Server Standard 2012 and keep 
the ‘integration component’.

If you want on-premise exchange then you can still go with SBS2011 and there 
should be an upgrade path to Server 2012 with full exchange on the same box – 
but the details of this without virtualising bits is still a bit sketchy.

Re: Speaking of Office 365

2012-07-23 Thread Don Kuhlman
Thanks Mike. It's sounding like we may need a small virtual environment, to 
allow building  at least one extra server and creating a DMZ using existing 
network and server hardware if we can't use the 2012 box for all the needs of 
connecting users to Office 365.
I want to do away with internal Exchange since the last two outages I've had to 
resolve were Exchange related (low disk, other weirdness).

The idea of getting rid of the VPN tunnels sounds good as well to me - one less 
point of failure.

2012-06-28 Thread Steve Kradel
I will vigorously agree with this... a cluster for handling ADFS2 load for
basic sign-on to SaaS is very rarely necessary, but you almost always do
want to be able to patch and reboot without making unavailable all the
stuff that now absolutely depends on federation/SSO.

 You don’t need a separate machine for either dirsync or adfs. It is,
 indeed, recommended. It’s also recommend to have a load-balanced adfs
 proxy, but for 99.99% of clients, that is just bollocks.

 Getting ready to migrate a small office environment to office 365. Domain
 is 2008 R2, only 10 users. I'm reading through all the documentation and
 specifically looking at the requirement for a separate machine to host the
 Directory Synchronization tool. Anyone here do this yet with a small
 office? Just curious as to the load on the box. I'm going to create a VM
 for this but see that the minimum requirements are 4G RAM and 70G of disk
 space. That seems high to me for something like this in a very small
 environment. Curious to hear what others have seen after doing this in a
 similar environment.

 Also just starting to read about single sign-on. So using the AD Sync tool
 doesn't give you single-sign on? It just gets your users and groups up to
 Office 365? For what purpose, if the credentials are synched? That's what I
 don't understand yet, but I'm not done reading yet, so maybe that will
 come. So if you need AD FS for single sign-on, how was the process?

RE: Office 365 and AD synchronization

2012-06-27 Thread David Lum
So if you need AD FS for single sign-on, how was the process?

This will be a poor technical explanation, but hopefully helpful:

We use SSO for our expense reporting, and how it works for us is we have an IIS 
server that handles the SSO function via certificate with us and our vendor. 
The cert sits on our IIS server and the corresponding cert sits in the target 
environment. The IIS server is in our trusted sites zone which allows the 
domain credentials to get passed to the IIS server. The target side trusts our 
IIS server (trust is misleading here because it's the cert that allows access 
not a domain trust, but I digress..).

The user experience is they go to our SSO website and they have a dropdown of 
what SSO site to connect to click connect and away they go, no prompting for 
credentials.

RE: Office 365 and AD synchronization

2012-06-27 Thread Mike Hoffman
You should not be looking at SSO for just 10 users with office 365 as you 
really need a 100% uptime connection (not 99.99%). We looked at this with small 
clients and putting in a separate server for the sync component is over the 
top. The build in sync tool is a complete solution build for big enterprises.

If you simply want 10 users to be able to do email and share logon passwords 
for both services (Local AD and O365) then SBS Essentials has a plugin which is 
a much simpler solution.

RE: Which Office 365 version - was Office 365 and AD synchronization

2012-06-27 Thread Mike Hoffman
If a client is used to an SBS solution then they will expect something other 
than public forum based support. We put clients on E-plans even for a single 
mailbox for just that reason. Also you cannot migrate from a P to an E, so if 
they think they might grow then they need an E plan.

E3 includes Microsoft Office Pro Plus - so if you already have Office 2010 then 
you do not need it. If you have Office 2003 then you do as you need the latest 
version for the full functionality. You can get away with 2007 for lots of 
features, but when 15 comes out then they will need to upgrade.

Sure no problem. Going to go with E3 specifically because of this:

Please note: with E1 you can only view Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and 
OneNote files online. With E3 you can both edit and view these files 
online.

This was a big selling point for the E3 plan. Also in our situation the 
client is non-profit, so the prices are significantly reduced.

Sorry Dave, should have clarified. Not really looking for a technical

We have PING for SAML and use it with a few different external partners, so I'm 
familiar with the process. Was looking for people who have experienced setting

Mike thanks for the reply. Can you give me a little more on that? 
Specifically when you say that you need 100% uptime and that it's over the 
top, what do you mean? Our plan is to put all the user documents in Office 
365 SharePoint specifically so they can have access to them from anywhere. 
On paper it sounds pretty good.

Sure no problem. Going to go with E3 specifically
because of this:

Please note: with E1 you can only view
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote files online. With E3 you can both
edit and view these files online.

This was a big selling point for the
E3 plan. Also in our situation the client is non-profit, so the prices
are significantly reduced.

Hi Chris, do you mind me asking what plan

client, moving them from internally hosted SBS 2008 to 365 Plan E1 ($8/month/per

it for about 18 users.

RE: Office 365 - Multiple Accounts?

2011-11-04 Thread Paul Hutchings
Thank you Michael.  Sounds like it's in the pipeline possibly.  Tbh it's not a 
huge deal just a bit annoying that licenses can't be re-assigned between your 
business units.

Have to say I'm really liking Office 365 so far.  I was a little wary but one 
of our sites is trialling it and I haven't heard a squeak from them since it 
went live.

Address list segregation is per tenant.

A Microsoft person, in a public forum (Greg Taylor), at Connections this week 
said that they hope to bring tenant address-book policies to Office 365 at some 
point in the future, but he wasn't committing anything or any dates.

(I have to note the person and the place 'cuz of my NDA.) :-P

If you have multiple business units who don't need to see/know that each other 
exists, is there any way to do this under a single Office 365 account or is the 
only option to have one account per business unit?

Thanks,

I guess they were slammed today.  The site was slow at times but everything
is working.  I downloaded all the software they said I needed.  I have Lync
2010 on my PC now and have my OL2010 setup to receive mail.  The only
slowness so far is that Lync can take a full day to get enabled for external
connections.  It says so on the screen in the admin control panel.  I just
failed to see it the first time there.

 

I found the sign-up and setup processes simple and painless.

 

If all goes well over the next couple of weeks, I plan on moving my
carlwebster.com e-mail domain to Office365.

 

Let me know if there is any other info you need.

I'm slowly reading through the Service Descriptions 
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=6c6ecc6c-64f5-490a-bca3-8835c9a4a2ea

With regards to Lync it doesn't mention anything about PIC, except for Live 
Messenger.  What about connecting to the other supported messenger?

I'm curious as to how much you can actually administer.  Lync for example is 
largely managed via powershell, do you have the same level of access?

Also interested on feedback from anyone that has integrated 365 with their 
existing AD, Exchange etc.

I'm looking at providing some of the services to our franchisees as it may be 
the most cost effective way to do it.  But at the same time I want to keep the 
existing AD, exchange server etc for company employees.

Challenges and restrictions of integration and co-existence are of interest.  
Lync 2010 can't integrate with Lync Online for example unless it is federated 
(and different domains).

RE: Office 365 - anyone onboard yet?

2011-06-28 Thread Webster
My use of Office 365 is solely for my one man shop.  No AD, Exchange, Lync
or SharePoint in my office.  In the enterprise space I work in, I am not
concerned about Office 365 impacting anything I do.  If anyone wants it, I
will farm that out to MBS.  I don't want to deal with it.  I have my hands
(over)full with Citrix work.

I'm looking at providing some of the services to our franchisees as it may
be the most cost effective way to do it.  But at the same time I want to
keep the existing AD, exchange server etc for company employees.

 

Challenges and restrictions of integration and co-existence are of interest.
Lync 2010 can't integrate with Lync Online for example unless it is
federated (and different domains).

What is your question(s)?

 

I've used it during the beta period. Webster has just signed up.

 

Between us, we can probably help. J

2011-06-28 Thread Michael B. Smith
Office365 provides you both a MSFT domain and your own domain. So federation is 
a small deal.

What we call rich coexistence would require you to answer lots of questions 
and me to spend lots of time analyzing them. Suffice it to be said - it can be 
done, you'll need to use ADFS and/or FIM 2010 to make it happen.

There are a (limited) number of cmdlets for managing Office 365. Around 125 
cmdlets. You should be able to find the list of those in online help. They map 
VERY closely to the control panel.

I'm slowly reading through the Service Descriptions 
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=6c6ecc6c-64f5-490a-bca3-8835c9a4a2ea

With regards to Lync it doesn't mention anything about PIC, except for Live 
Messenger.  What about connecting to the other supported messenger?

I'm curious as to how much you can actually administer.  Lync for example is 
largely managed via powershell, do you have the same level of access?

Also interested on feedback from anyone that has integrated 365 with their 
existing AD, Exchange etc.

I guess they were slammed today.  The site was slow at times but everything is 
working.  I downloaded all the software they said I needed.  I have Lync 2010 
on my PC now and have my OL2010 setup to receive mail.  The only slowness so 
far is that Lync can take a full day to get enabled for external connections.  
It says so on the screen in the admin control panel.  I just failed to see it 
the first time there.

I found the sign-up and setup processes simple and painless.

If all goes well over the next couple of weeks, I plan on moving my 
carlwebster.com e-mail domain to Office365.

Let me know if there is any other info you need.

service offerings enable you to work with e-mail, documents, and data from 
virtually anywhere and on nearly any device with a familiar productivity 
experience on PCs, phones, and in browsers.
In his presentation Jono will walk through the Services that are offered as 
part of Office 365, as well as some of the new features available to customers, 
with a heavy focus on Identity and Directory Management solutions in the 
Enterprise space.
Jono is the Program Manager owner for the Directory Synchronization and Hybrid 
Deployment features of the Office 365 Service. His complete bio is available
