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

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.

RE: Office 365
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.

RE: Office 365
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.

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.

Re: Office 365
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. -Bill On Wed, Apr 3, 2013 at 12:47 PM, itli...@imcu.com itli...@imcu.com wrote: Do they have a webbased outlook so all my users would be standardized?? -Original Message- From: Bill Songstad [mailto:bsongs...@gmail.com] Posted At: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 3:38 PM Posted To: itli...@imcu.com Conversation: Office 365 Subject: Re: Office 365 We use it.

RE: Speaking of Office 365
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.

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.

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: Office 365 and AD synchronization
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
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
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.

Re: Which Office 365 version - was Office 365 and AD synchronization
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.

RE: Office 365 and AD synchronization
Sorry Dave, should have clarified. Not really looking for a technical explanation of single sign-on. Very familiar with what it is and how it works.

RE: Office 365 and AD synchronization
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.

RE: Office 365 - anyone onboard yet?
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. From: Webster [mailto:carlwebs...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, 29 June 2011 8:44 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Office 365 - anyone onboard yet?

RE: Office 365 - anyone onboard yet?
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. Regards, Michael B.

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.
