Assigning exchange online licenses for hybrid deployments

Please help me understand the following:
a) If I have an exchange Hybrid deployment, what happens if I activate Exchange online license for a user hosted on prem?
b) what happens if I add my domain to office 365 tenant and assign Exchange online licenses to users without having a hybrid?
Thanks

Recently signed up for teams CC account to try it. Have one complete license. Would like to add a team member then assign single app license for Lightroom. I can see no way to do this. It want's me to do another complete license. Is there a way to do some

Recently signed up for teams CC account to try it. Have one complete license. Would like to add a team member then assign single app license for Lightroom. I can see no way to do this. It want's me to do another complete license. Is there a way to do something other than "complete"?

We can not club complete cc for teams & cc for single app.
A complete plan includes all Creative Cloud apps and services. A single app plan includes access to one app (Photoshop
CC, Illustrator CC, etc.) and select services, including 20 GB cloud-based storage and a customized online portfolio with
Behance ProSite, enabling you to publish your work to the world’s leading creative community. With each plan, you’ll receive
access to the same easy-to-use admin console – a web portal that lets you centrally purchase, deploy, and manage all seats
across your organization under one membership agreement.
You will have to assign a different CC for Team for single app.

Re-assigning a retail license for Office 2010 Home and Student - any charge for support?

I want to re-assign one of three licenses for Office, but I went to the Support website, which prompted for the product ID and indicated that the "free support"period had expired, presumably because it is 12 months since I first installed it.
Can the reassignment be organised at the time of activating on the new computer by phone? Would a person be speaking with a human if doing a phone activation? Will there be a charge and what's it likely to cost?
I also have a suggestion for Microsoft: a de-activation routine that would enable the license transfer process without the need for human support.

Hi
Normally Office for a retail version can only be activated once at a time in one computer, Office 2010 Home &Student can be installed on three machines.
If you have used up your activation times and want to transfer your Office to a new computer, contact Microsoft Customer Service and they will help you to activate your Office in a new machine:

Exchanging Windows License for OS-X

If you read the Adobe Flex Upgrade FAQ you'll find a section
that seems to infer how easy it is to exchange your Windows License
for a OSX license.
"Just call customer service to arrange for a new download and
serial number" is the message.
Right....
Below is my response to a Customer Service Representative
after spending over 2 hours trying to exchange my license. Now they
won't process my request because my current Signature on File isn't
legally binding for the Letter of Destruction I had to fill out and
send in.
Good Luck for everyone else. Hopefully your experience goes
better than mine
Hi Kendall,
I'll happily do that, but the line about not being
able to help me because you lack my signature for
legal purposes is kind of stale. Our courts ruled that
a person electronic intent can suffice as long as it
can be proven to be willfully given.
Additionally, The Flex team really needs to update the
FAQ about contacting customer service and arranging
for a download to exchange your Windows license for a
OSX license. They make it sound so simple.
My experience so far has been anything but.
The first person in customer service didn't know how
to help me do this so they transferred me to sales to
see if they could help. They couldn't either so they
sent me back to customer service
The next person couldn't help either so they
transferred me to group/corporate licensing to inquire
about switching. They couldn't help me directly but
told me to recontact customer service and tell them I
wanted to return/destroy my current copy of flex which
should trigger their call center script to inquire if
I wanted to to transfer or reassign my license.
Finally located someone who could help me, they gave
me a case number and told me to search the Adobe
website for Letter of Discontinuation and to fill it
out and email it back in. "Be sure to include your
case number so they know we've authorized you to do
this" was the warning.
Couldn't find the letter anywhere on the website so I
had to call back and get a representative who told me
to search for Letter of Destruction but to use "LOD"
since the former didn't seem to work. Once I did that
he told me to choose the 4th item display on your
search results because the search result title was
labled "Customer Service" which didn't really do a
good job of communicating "This is the Letter of
Destruction you are looking for."
By the way he warned, it would likely take 2 weeks to
process the request so don't expect to be installing
Flex Builder 2 tomorrow. Instead plan on installing
the 30 day demo of Flex Builder and hopefully we can
get you a replacement serial number by then. No word
as to what happens if you don't and my development
comes to a grinding halt.
None of this has been easy, nor convienent, and I've
got almost 2 hours of hold time just to get this far
only to be told I have to go find a fax machine and
send this in because my legal intent isn't clear to
the fine folks at Adobe.
I left as a long time Microsoft developer to come to
Adobe Products because the bueacracy and indifference
of Microsoft became unbearable. (The first 15 years
wasn't so bad but the last 2 have been miserable.)
I'm really disappointed that something as seemingly
simple as arranging to get me a new serial number so I
can move to OSX from Windows has turned into such a
time waster for me.
So I'll happily comply with your request, after all
you are calling the shots. Perhap you could consider
showing this email to your management team and ask
them to think if there might be a better way to get
this done?
Something that closer matches what the FAQ pomises
would be nice because your ex-microsoft-new adobe
customer is really frustrated.
Regards,
Larry

Exchange 2013 Certificates for Hybrid Deployment Clarification

I have an Exchange 2013 servers (CAS and Mailbox on separate server) which I wanted to setup for Hybrid deployment. I already have a certificate acquired from 3rd party with 3 names (mail, autodiscover and owa). the certificate was installed in the
CAS server. As per the hybrid deployment documentation I need also to install a certificate in the mailbox server, questions:
1. Can I use the same certificate for installation in the mailbox server?
2. Can I also use the same certificate in the Hybrid Configuration wizard for the "certificate to use with securing the hybrid mail transport"?
3. Do I need to include the primary smtp domain (xxxxx.com) in the certificate since current configuration points to the mail.xxx.com as the certificate common name?

Hi,
Here are my answers you can refer to:
1. It depends.
The certificate used for hybrid secure mail transport must be installed on all on-premises Exchange 2013 Mailbox and Client Access servers.
If you're configuring a hybrid deployment in an organization that has Exchange servers deployed in multiple Active Directory forests, you must use a separate third-party CA certificate for each Active Directory forest.
2. Yes. But we recommend that you use a dedicated third-party certificate for any optional AD FS server, another certificate for the Exchange services for your hybrid deployment, and if needed, another certificate on your Exchange servers for other needed
services or features.
3. Yes. Here are the minimum suggested FQDNs that should be included on certificates: domain.com, autodiscover.domain.com, edge.domain.com
For more information, you can refer to the following article:

If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Exchange online service for personal domain

I wish to opt for exchange email online service frm microsoft for my personal hosted domain name.
As you may be already aware that all other emails have the option of POP or IMAP setting.I currently have POP enabled for my mail accounts.I understand that this does not give the advantage of uniform syncing on all devices.
But it gives me an advantage which i need.I have the same email account configured on 3 devices..a laptop,a desktop and a smartphone.The desktop is managed by my office.Since it works on POP any changes made by them is not reflected on my laptop/phone.
Let me know if this same option is available somehow if i migrate to microsoft exchnage mail service.I will be using outlook on desktop.Is there any feature on outlook to do the same or in exchnage mail itself.
Kindly advise

Hi RahoolJindal,
If you have Exchange Mail Service, besides the POP and IMAP service, you can also have Exchange account which have more powerfully features. Comparing with the POP, and IMAP, the
data files are all stored on the Exchange Server Database. You can access it anywhere with any clients like Mobility, Outlook Anywhere and Internet Explorer (OWA).
When you use Outlook to configure the Exchange account, you can also have business features like Calendar, Out Of Office notification, Meeting Room free time finder and ect.

Certificates for Office 365 Hybrid Exchange 2010 Exchange Online v15

Certificates for Office 365 Hybrid Exchange 2010 Exchange Online v15
We need to set up a hybrid server to allow us to begin moving mailboxes to Exchange Online. We created a new Server 2012 R2 server with Exchange 2013 SP1 to act as our Hybrid server. Reading the literature leaves me with questions about what
certificates I need. My understanding is that the certificates in play on the on-premise Exchange 2010 servers don't need to be changed.
I've looked at the TechNet article "Certificate requirements for hybrid deployments"
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh563848(v=exchg.150).aspx
Certificate requirements for the new Exchange 2013 SP1 server are still unclear to me, I think the new server needs a SAN certificate with:
Hybridserver.domain.edu
autodiscover.domain.edu
EWS.domain.edu
Can anyone clarify?

Cert is required only if you want to deploy ADFS for SSO.
Otherwise you can use your existing Cert for all the Services

Can't figure out how to use Amazon SES as a smart host for Exchange Online

Hi,
I have a problem that is proving very difficult to solve, and I'm hoping someone on here might know a bit more about this.
I am trying to configure MS Exchange Online to route all emails through Amazon SES as a relay server, however the problem is that SES seems to want you to pass it SMTP username and password credentials to authenticate with, and I don't think Exchange Online
allows for this?
I have checked all the options in Outbound Connector section and there doesn't seem to be any place where I can choose SMTP authentication. On Exchange 2013 and on-premise 365 Exchange solution I believe you can do this, but with pure Exchange Online
I'm not sure...
Does anyone know whether this is possible, and if not why Microsoft doesn't allow it / if they might be intending to enable this in the near future?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Tom

Decommission Exchange 2010 after all mailboxes have been moved to Exchange Online

Currently very confused on what to do.
I'm looking to migrate mailboxes to Exchange online using a Hybrid deployment with Dirsync. The users have multiple email and domain addresses. They are moving away from their SBS 2011 and Exch 2010 server. They have an AD and File and Print server. Once
all mailboxes are moved and mx records are changed and everything is running smootkly. I would like to then decommission SBS and Exch 2010 box and still use DIRsync
Few questions
Once I remove Exch 2010 what wont I be able to do. Cant find anything specific online
Will I still be able to create a user in AD then login to Exchange online and assign a license then
the user would have mailbox
Edit a user and add smtp email address.
As I don’t have many users should I rather use PST migration or will I run into the same problems.

Yes, you should move the arbitration mailboxes - they are organizational mailboxes, not mailbox database mailboxes.
Make sure all Exchange resources and operations hosted on this server have been moved to your Exchange 2013 system before you remove Exchange from this server. If you try to remove Exchange (in either the GUI or the command line) and something is
still using this server, you will be alerted that something is still using the server and will be told what it is.

Exchange 2003 to cloud hybrid migration

Dears
i have exchange 2003 on premise with 50 users, and we purchase 5 license for exchange online to make hybrid migration as move 3 users to cloud.
i install exchange 2010 on premise with hub, CAS and mailbox as hybrid server with the 2003... so the question is before i continue in the hybrid migration steps.
can i move mailboxs from 2003 to cloud direct ... or .... i must move mailboxs to 2010 first and demolish the 2003 then i move from 2010 to cloud....

After configuring the Exchange 2010 server for a hybrid deployment, you can migrate mailboxes directly from Exchange 2003.
There are, however, some benefits to moving the mailboxes to Exchange 2010 first. Moves from Exchange 2003 are "offline" and will lock the user out of the mailbox. Moves from Exchange 2010 are "online" and can be "staged"
in Office 365 such that you move 95% of the mailbox and then suspend the move. Then, at completion, the last 5% completes relatively quickly.
So if mailboxes are large, you can move them from 2003 to 2010 at "LAN speeds" and then 2010 to Exchange Online at "WAN speeds".

Considersation of Exchange Online services

We are considering using Exchange Online Service for replacing our legacy pop/smtp email hosting service from our ISP. For that we want to review the performance of the service and issues we need consider.
1) our users are using outlook 2007/2010 for email. After change to Exchange Online service, can we still use outlook for email? How we should connect to the new Exchange Online Service?
2) Bandwidth required for the exchange online service for 30 users?
3) Some of our colleagues need travel to ASEAN Countries, Middle East, Greater China, Korean, Japan,etc. Do that need access thru servers in Hong Kong (where our office locates)? Can the Online Web service be used in those countres?
4) Now user are archiving their emails into Outlook Data file (.PST), how should we do the archiving with Exchange Online service? some of the users receiving 10GB email per year and we possible need keep them for 7 years. Any suggestion?
Any other consideration?

1) You can, but you need to update them and run the Desktop setup from the Office 365 portal. Configuring the account is usually done by Autodiscover, so all you need to do is enter username and password. Here's an example article:
https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/set-up-email-in-Outlook-2013-6e27792a-9267-4aa4-8bb6-c84ef146101b
2) Well it depends on the usage of course, but overall it will not be that different from your current setup. Higher latency yes, but that will be compensated by using Cached mode. Here's a general article with information and troubleshooting tips for network
performance and Office 365:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/f97c2f06-0426-443d-8a16-d98abb0da252#EstimateBandwidthRequirements
3) It can be accessed from anywhere, unless specifically blocked by ISP/government.
4) You get 50GB by default, if you need more storage you can get the Exchange Online plan 2 license, that comes with unlimited archiving. There are advanced legal and compliance features that can meet most of the requirements for large enterprises as well,
so you should be OK. And if you need to keep mail for people that have left the company, you can just use Inactive mailboxes for free:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn144876(v=exchg.150).aspx
The biggest 'gotcha' is the fact that there is no point-in-time backup in O365. You as the administrator will be responsible for making sure an item is preserved when needed, or recovering items that the user removed by mistake. As mentioned above, there
are a lot of features that can help you with that, so you should have no problems if you are prepared. But it's worth explaining to the users that you might not be able to recover "that message I deleted 6 months ago".

Site mailboxes with Exchange Online?

Hi All,
We would like to use Site Mailboxes with our On-Prem 2013 Ent deployment. In addition to our On-prem deployement, we also have the full O365 suite including Exchange, SharePoint, Lync, etc.
Question: Can we use Site Mailboxes in our On-prem environment, connected to Exchange online?
The tables at the bottom of the following article indicates that SharePoint Online must be included in the O365 subscription, but the notes are not clear as to whether it is a requirement to use the SharePoint Online instance of SharePoint or if we could
use our On-Prem instance.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exchange-online-sharing-and-collaboration.aspx

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use SharePoint 2013 on-prem and Exchange online for Site mailbox feature.
I’d like to briefly introduce the Site mailbox creation in SharePoint online at first. The Site mailbox is enabled by the site collection admin and the whole creation process is finished from the background. For the users who want to access the Site mailbox,
it requires the SharePoint online users to also have the Exchange online licenses.
In SharePoint on-premise, the Site Mailbox requires Exchange Server 2013 is mentioned in this SharePoint Server 2013 instruction:
Configure site mailboxes in SharePoint Server 2013.
Since Exchange on-premise includes more features and capabilities than Exchange online, I’ think it’s not feasible to integrate the SharePoint on-premise to the Exchange online service for setting up the Site Mailbox feature.

Linda Li

Can Exchange Online Protection work with Exchange 2010 on-premise

I want to keep my current Exchange 2010 server but switch to Exchange Online Protection for anti-spam.
Is that possible?
Without doing any AD/Azure sync?

Yes to both. With directory synchronization you can have the added benefit of blocking mail to nonexistent recipients.

Migration from Rackspace to Exchange Online

I am having an astoundingly hard time migrating one test email address (mine) from our current rackspace email address to my new exchange online. When I use the migration tool, I give it the 2 line CSV file (headers and 1 line of my address) and start the
migration it just hangs for a couple of minutes trying to authenticate, I assume to the rackspace server.
Maybe I dont have the right rackspace server name but I have tried rackspace.com, cp.rackspace.com, apps.rackspace.com and email.rackspace.com. My users use apps.rackspace.com to login to their email. I use cp.rackspace.com to get the control panel. I have
seen them called email.rackspace .com and I threw in rackspace.com for good measure. When I login at apps... I use
[email protected] as the login id. When I login to cp.... I use only rpierce.
I have tried many cominations of server addesses, login ids etc. and I always die in "Connecting and Authenticating to source server". Does anybody have any ideas here?

I realize this is a very old posting, but I just went through this migration process this weekend and wanted to share for future posterity.
So, if you want, you can use the Microsoft Exchange EAC Migration tool to migrate over your email from Rackspace. It worked fairly well - HOWEVER, it is only email and not your contacts or calendar, which for us was not good. If you still want to do this,
here's how:
1) Go to the EAC Migration.
2) Add - Migrate to exchange online
3) For pretty much any hosted exchange system, you're probably not going to be able to do nice migrations like Cutover. Instead, you're stuck with IMAP...which is also why you can only do your email and not calendar. Companies like Rackspace will not give
you enough access to do Cutover migrations.
4) Upload your CSV file.
5) For your IMAP server, type in your mail server. If you do not know it, you should be able to get it from Outlook. Go to your Account Settings. To get the proper server, you may need to go to "More Settings", Connection, Exchange Proxy Settings,
and copy the proxy server name. For our Rackspace server, it was mex07a.emailsrvr.com
5) Name the migration and start it off.
Ok, so that does JUST email, but NOT calendar and contacts. We needed that. So, after a lot of hunting around and finding a couple of posts that helped, the only real option was migrationwiz.bittitan.com . It does cost about $11.99 an account, but it did
a good job. You can setup trials and run free migrations which migrate a few emails/calendar/contacts as a test.
When setting up the migration project, their system allows you to type in the source/destination servers, or they have a "I know my service provider" option. I clicked on that and was able to find the desired Rackspace server in the list.
Everything went real well, EXCEPT stupid me had done the IMAP migration and then the MigrationWiz. All emails wound up being duplicated. MigrationWiz keeps track of what it migrates and does not duplicate, but since I had all of the emails in the destination
already and then did it again, I duplicated everything. I wound up having to switch to the "Classic" interface for MigrationWiz, selecting all accounts, clicking on Bulk Options > reset mailboxes, and reset the statistics and errors for all accounts.
Then I had to clear everyone's email accounts out of mail. Again, problem - DNS was already pointed to new server, so I literally had to go into everyone's account on OWA and delete off all emails that were before the DNS change. UGH. Then I went
back to MigrationWiz and started their migrations over. So, much of that would not have been necessary if I didn't migrate with two different tools and if I had waited to switch DNS.

Outlook 2011 with Exchange Online

I have just subscribed to Exchange Online, and use Outlook 2011 for Mac as client. Email send/receive is working. However, Contacts and Notes on my Outlook don't sync with Exchange.

Hi,
Since Exchange Online is different from Exchange 2013, I suggest asking Exchange Online Forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions.
For your convenience:

Also post a thread on Outlook 2011 for Mac Forum:
