Cutover onprem mailbox to exchange online without Hybrid configuration wizard.

HI!
We have on premise exchange server 2010 sp2 deployed with domain1.com. We have registered our tenant and verified the ownership of domain1.com on our office365 tenant.  We have successfully deployed EOP and configured inbound and outbound connectors
and all the mailflow is working fine. We havenot deployed directory sync server and ADFS for the deployment of EOP. Our Mx is pointed to domain1-com.mail.protection.outlook.com and all the mails are sent and received through EOP. I
want to move a user mailbox such as [email protected] to Exchange Online from on-premise exchange without configuring Dirsync and Exchange Hybrid configuration wizard. I already know the some of the limitations.
If I create a user account [email protected] on the tenant and activate the Exchange License on office365 to create the Mailbox on Exchange online.
I want to know that if I have to create any other send and receive connector or any other configuration either on office365 or exchange online if I cutover one user from our on-premise to exchange online without configuring Exchange Hybrid configuration
wizard on our on premise exchange server??
Will this effect the mailflow between onpremise and exchange online users?

It's not clear to me what type of migration you're trying to do. A cutover migration would be an option as long as you understand the limitations of that process.  Otherwise are you looking to use a third-party migration tool or some other
mechanism?
The reason you would end up with two mailboxes is if when you assign an Exchange license to a user in the cloud without DirSync, a mailbox is provisioned for that user.  You can assign a license after the mailbox is moved assuming you have a mail-enabled
user in the cloud and can do a remote move to it.
Once you manage to get the mailbox to the cloud, now you have to deal with routing which means you'll need a mail-enabled user on-premises for every mailbox in the cloud and will need to have a target address with a coexistence domain such as "@tenant.mail.onmicrosoft.com". 
Likewise, Exchange Online will need a mail-enabled user for every on-premises mailbox in order to have a populated GAL and route in that direction.
For security reasons we don't to setup Dirsync and hybrid.
I hear this occasionally and remind organizations that you're putting the actual data (the stuff the credentials protect) in Microsoft's datacenters.  If it's a question of trust, cloud services might not be the most appropriate solution for the
organization.  The Office 365 Trust Center (http://trust.office365.com/) can provide some insight into the controls that Microsoft has in place to protect your data.
DirSync or the new AADSync can be scoped such that they only sync limited objects.  From there, you have the options of Password (Hash) Sync with DirSync (not yet with AADSync) or using AD FS which leaves the authentication with your on-premises
directory.

  • Exchange Online without configuration outlook.

    Hello.
    I’ve tested Exchange Online Plan1 by trial version now.
    I saw your article of the migration Exchange Server 2003 to Office365.
    My goal is using exchange online without setting on user computers.
    Because many user are in different place. So I couldn’t make it all of them.
    And it could be taken time a lot. That’s why I don’t want configuration of the outlook.
    But I’m not sure it is possible. Please let me know my big question.
    My Exchange Online Migration Plan.
    Stop our Exchange Server 2003.
    Make contract with Microsoft for Exchange Online Plan1
    Register our domain on the Exchange Online.
    Make all of the users at Exchange Online without migration function.
    Reconfiguration  passwords of the users by powershell.
    Using outlook 2007 without reconfiguration.
     If I use Exchange Server 2013, it is possible to use outlook 2007 without configuration
    Thank you.

  • Migrating 122GB mailbox to Exchange Online

    Hi all,
    I'm attempting to migrate a 122GB journal from a decommissioned on premise exchange (SBS2008 - Exchange 2007)
    Using a 32 bit Windows 7 machine with Outlook 2007
    So far, I've attempted to use Export-Mailbox -Identity journal -PSTFolderPath
    E:\drive\journal.pst
    After a week of it sat exporting, it eventually failed with an error regarding too many corrupt messages
    On my second attempt, I added the flag of -BadItemLimited 1000 and it sat for a week
    Approving Object
    I think next I will, create a new mailstore and move it across and try and export from that..
    Failing that, specify export by date?
    Does anybody have any suggestions/tips/instructions on how to move a mailbox of that size?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    As far as I know, Resource Mailboxes (Room, Shared, Equipment) is moved between on-premise Exchange servers in the exact same way as User Mailboxes:

    Based on my research, there is nothing special for resource mailboxes in the transition from on-premise to Exchange online:

  • Monitoring many mailboxes in Exchange OnLine

    Hi
    I'm developing a large-scaled Exchange calendar synchronization application using EWS Managed API 2.1. 
    When Microsoft upgraded the Exchange OnLine platform to Exchange 2013 I had to re-write some of the code in order to adapt to the new behavior of the CAS (e.g. subscription groups and GroupingInformation).
    Typically our customers have 4000-5000 mailboxes that we have to monitor but some of them have 20.0000 or more. As the trend is that also large companies are moving their Exchange to the cloud I often get questions from sales about how many calendars
    we can monitor for changes.   
    So, now to my question;
    Is there any absolute limit for how many mailboxes that can be monitored in Exchange OnLine?
    I'm using EWS Managed API 2.1, utilizing Autodiscover, Impersonation, Streaming Notifications and subscription groups (200 subscriptions each). I'm aware of that throttling limits will be reached from time to time and that I have to handle them as they occur.
    Best Regards

    Hi CCStefanonni,
    If you delete a user account or remove a license from a user, mailbox will be permanently deleted after 30days. Since you are in Midsize Business plan you don't have in-place hold to keep inactive user data for more than 60 days. As I see, you have two options,
    Convert the user mailbox to a Shared Mailbox. Keep in mind shared mailboxes are only 5GB in size.
    Download the PST and keep it somewhere safe (ex: one drive). You can upload the PST through the shell or though Outlook later if needed.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Exchange Online Protection

    Hello!
    I'm trying to configure hybrid deployment of Exchange 2010 and office 365 according to the article on MSExchange.org. I'm stuck with part three (http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/office-365/exchange-online/using-hybrid-configuration-wizard-exchange-2010-service-pack-2-part3.html).
    I don't know the IP address of the Exchange Onlinbe Protection server.
    I've bought exchange Online Plan1, so I suppose we can use Online Protection.
    Where can I found the particular IP addres of Exchange Online Protection Services?
    Thank you in advance,
    Moiseev Anton.

    I've found the answer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh510075.aspx
    According to the information that I received from MS HelpDesk you can use any addres from those ranges. I personally didn't test it yet, because I stuck with the public certificate request.

  • Exchange Online mailbox Deletion check

    Hi,
    I am facing a peculiar problem. When we delete a mailbox in Exchange Online and we find the mailbox is not visible in Exchange Admin center. This is fine. However (sometimes), a few minutes later, when we check whether the mailbox has been deleted using
    EWS api (GetSearchableMailboxes), the mailbox is still returned in the results.  Therefore, even though mailbox is not visible in Exchange Admin center we cannot determine with certainty (programmatically) whether mailbox exists or not.
    How do we ensure that the check for mailbox existence is consistent at all times. Is there any api or command available for this purpose. Does it take time for Exchange to reflect the deleted status of mailbox.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Exchange Cutover Migration Mailbox limit

    Greetings,
    In the Microsoft documentation says:
    You can migrate a maximum of 2,000 mailboxes from your on-premises Exchange organization to Exchange Online using a cutover migration. This migration method only moves mailboxes,
    mail users, mail contacts, and mail-enabled groups. 
    But in the EAC migration console when I select cutover migration it says the limit is 1000 mailboxes
    I need to validate if the limit is 2000 mailboxes or 1000, and also if I can migrate more than 1000 mailboxers without issues even when EAC says the maximum is 1000.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hi AC,
    As the documents said, the limit now is 2,000 mailboxes.
    I notice following information in the article
    http://community.office365.com/en-us/w/solutions/4294.aspx :
    In Remote move migrations, you have to implement a hybrid deployment to migrate more than 1,000 Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2013 mailboxes to Exchange Online. 
    Please verify whether you are in the Remote move migrations.
    Also suggest asking Office 365 forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:

  • 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

  • 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.

    According to the reply of this thread, if you run the HCW (Hybrid Configuration Wizard) to deploy the Exchange Hybrid environment, there will generate an HCW log
    file for this deployment.
    Additional troubleshooting information is available in the Update-HybridConfiguration log file located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V1*\Logging\Update-HybridConfiguration\HybridConfiguration****.log

  • What is the behavior of items in an Exchange Online Inactive mailbox that were under a Litigation Hold for a set period of time.

    I am specifically asking what happens to the items in an Inactive Mailbox that was placed on Litigation Hold prior to Deletion when the Litigation Hold has say a '6 mo.' Retention Period assigned.
    Do any of those items 'expire' out of the mailbox?  Do only the items in the 'Admin' folders of the Deleted Items get removed, or none?
    I am not asking about recoverability of that mailbox, more of what the behavior is specifically when the Litigation Hold is set to expire after a certain amount of time.

    There is no expiration, check the blog post here:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/03/21/preserve-mailbox-data-for-ediscovery-using-inactive-mailboxes-in-exchange-online.aspx
    All content in an inactive mailbox is on hold until you remove the hold from the mailbox.

  • Ramifications of assigning a wildcard certificate to the SMTP service (needed for Exchange 2010 Hybrid Configuration - Office 365)

    Hello All:
    I am receiving an error when I run the Manage Hybrid Configuration wizard - ERROR:Updating hybrid configuration failed with error 'Subtask NeedsConfiguration execution failed: Configure Recipient Settings. I have opened a SR, but figured I'd try the forums,
    too. I have a wildcard certificate from GoDaddy (MS says they support wildcards from GoDaddy) & that cert has only the IIS service applied to it on the CAS. I've read in the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant that it should have the SMTP & IIS services
    assigned to it, but my question is - SMTP on the CAS (separate server) or on the Mailbox/Hub Transport (separate server)? And what are the ramifications of assigning the SMTP service to, let's say, the CAS? We have had multiple issues every time the servers
    get updated/changed; I do not want to disrupt services further, as the Manage Hybrid Configuration will be done during business hours.
    If anyone can provide any assistance/clarification, it would be most appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    We can enable a Wildcard certificate with SMTP service for Exchange Hybird Deployment. The SMTP service can be assigned to multiple certificates. For some Exchange services such as OWA, Ecp, ActiveSync, Autodiscover service, OOF, it is used with Exchange
    certificate with IIS service. And there is usually only one certificate can be assigned with IIS service.
    Please just make sure your Wildcard certificate can contain all namespaces which are used for all internal URL and External URL configuration in Exchange services. About how to import an existing wildcard certificate on the Exchange 2010 Hybird servers,
    please refer to the Import & Enable Third Party Certificate on Hybrid Servers
    part in the following article:
