SBS 2008 PREMIUM - Migration to Office 365 (E3)

Hi,
I have two customers running 'Windows Server SBS 2008 Premium' and wondering to migrate their environment to 'Office 365', since this is an old version of Windows cannot run the AD FS tool (as my previous post
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/4b5d7942-f9a6-4138-9ba8-596a35e36754/sbs-2008-microsoft-azure-active-directory-module-for-windows-powershell-is-not-supported-by-your?forum=WindowsAzureAD) they will create a new environment with
Windows Server 2012 R2.
Looking at 'https://www.skykick.com/products/small-business-migrations' isn't clear about Active Directory
migration or sync.
Can someone share thoughts and review if my plan is correct to use this tool?
- install a new server and AD domain;
- install SSL and AD FS tool in a way to integrate it with Office 365 Servers
- migrate computers from old DOMAIN (SBS 2008) to the new one (W2k12)
- use this tool to migrate contents from old infrastructure
Any help is appreciated.
tks,
Renato P

Removing Exchange 2007 from SBS 2008 after Migrating to Office 365 Mid Sized with DirSync and SSO

We have recently completed off a Migration of Exchange 2007 to Office 365 Mid Sized platform.
I now need to decomission the old SBS 2008 server as they have moved to a Windows Server 2012 R2 server setup for DC, File and print and application servers.
I need to know what are the ramifications of removing the Exchange 2007 server from the SBS 2008 server and will this remove the LegacyDN details from AD and cause any issues with internal emails between users using Outlook linked through to Office365.
I understand that after removing Exchange 2007 there will be no friendly GUI to update and maintain proxyAddress, targetAddress and LegacyDN addresses, I am comfortable doing this in ADSI edit or with a script.
Will this remove the x500 addresses relating to the on premise Exchange Orgainisation and just leave behind the x500 addresses for Exchange Labs which I assume is the x500 addresses for the Azure AD intergration for Office365.

Downsize Public Folders for Migration to Office 365

To migrate public folders, I have been following this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj983799%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
However, this customer's public folders are exceeding well over 50GB. There are contacts and a calendar. I am looking for assistance/advice on downsizing public folders for migrating to Office 365.
Exchange 2007
Server: Windows Server 2008 Standard

Hi,
To reduce the public folder's size prior to the migration, you can try to delete the old content or split it into multiple smaller public folders.
Here is a related article for your reference.

Disabling AD Autodiscover while migrating to Office 365

I'm in the middle of migrating from Exchange 2007 to Office 365. I can autodiscover to the Office 365 service successfully in every instance except when I'm on a PC joined to the AD domain and the domain is accessible. I have added a registry
key on my test PC that keeps it from using the AD SCP to autodiscover but it still gets my Exchange server mailbox instead of the Office 365 mailbox even without using SCP.
If I remove the PC from the domain, it works both locally and remotely so I know all my other settings are okay, it's only giving me this issue when it's a domain member and is running local to the AD domain. Tried a laptop, joined it to the domain,
took it home and let it autoconfigure, worked great. Same laptop, when local to the domain, tries to autoconfigure using the local Exchange server settings.
I'd like to give my users back their Outlook (rather than OWA) after I migrate them. How do I prevent my locally deployed, AD-joined computers from getting autodiscover info from my local Exchange CAS server while I complete my migration to Office
365?

Hi,
I ran into the same problem. I came up with a work around but I’m not sure this is the correct approach.
First, with Outlook 2010 already installed I had to run the Set up and configure your Office desktop apps from Office 365. I’m not sure of all the configuration changes this makes but I know after you install it that it will allow
you to change the username field when trying to authenticate to Office 365 (will get back to that in a minute)
Second, from my domain joined computer where outlook was connected to my on premise exchange 2007 server mailbox, I setup a new outlook account, either from the control panel mail icon, or from within outlook (both worked) Note; doing from within your already
existing configured outlook allowed me to migrate my email from on-premise to office 365.
From Control Panel/Mail , I created profile name “Office 365”
In the next window it then auto discovered my on premise exchange mailbox email address
[email protected] (which in my case is the same as the office 365 email address
[email protected] )
I replaced the email address with the secondary domain email address that Microsoft office 365 created
[email protected]. I did not put in password at this point and clicked next. It then searched for mailbox, a windows security mail application windows will pop up.
This is where I then replace username
[email protected] with
[email protected] and put in my office 365 account password.
As mentioned above when I said I would get back to that in a minute, if you don’t run the
Set up and configure your Office desktop apps from Office 365. You will not have the option to replace the username from the windows security mail application windows.
It finishes configuration and you’re now connected.
Worth mentioning though that I’m still having some funky mail delivery issues with on-premise users with my imported “contacts” in outlook. The contacts work from office 365 web apps, but not from outlook. If I type the address everything
is fine, but using contacts or replying to on-premise users is giving me some grief. It’s a contact issue but I’m still unable to resolve it.

Summary Report after migrating to Office 365

Hi all,
I just successfully performed a cutover migration off a SBS 2011 Server.
Admins are missing the Daily/Weekly Status report email generated by SBS. The report still goes to the on-premises mailbox. I also unticked the users from the list and created new emails as "external" recipients but did not work.
The DNS is authoritative for contoso.local. I don't know how to create a MX record for contoso.com within that zone.
I think it may be an attribute in AD that needs to be changed.
Could you guys provide help with this?
Regards,
Frank

Hi Frank,
On current situation, please refer to following thread and check if can help you.

Migrating from office 365 to OSX Server 2.2.1 Mail server.

hi folks,
I am considering setting up an OSX Server v 2.21 and using it as my main mail server at home, and migrating away from office 365, and using the OSX mail server as my main server. I have my own domain name, and i would be the only user of the mail server.
I would be running this on a mac mini i7 with 16 GB ram.
what anti virus / spam applications are there available for the mac mail server?
thanks.

The power in your computer is fine. I was just trying to warn you that if any network requests come in the server configuration immediately priorises that higher than interacting with the user sitting that the keyboard. Apps you are using may stutter until the network request has been answered. Of course, if you don't have many network users and with a computer that powerful, it probably won't take the server long enough to answer the network request that you notice any problem.
No webmail portal for mail, and no easy way to add one. Just mail apps using POP, SMTP, etc..
Here's the manual for OS X Server if you're interested:

Extend SBS 2008 - 2011 Migration

Yes, I know the SBS party has passed. But, I have a client who purchased it before the end of the year, and we are now doing a migration from SBS 2008 to SBS 2011. However, it is taking longer than 21 days.
I know with SBS 2003, you can suspend SBCore and extend the migration.
Can you do the same with SBS 2008?

Hi,
Any update?
Just checking in to see if the suggestions were helpful. Please let us know if you would like further assistance.

Question About Migrating to Office 365

After a cutover migration from Exchange 2010 to Office 365, what is involved in cancelling the migration and rolling back to the on-premises Exchange 2010?

Ed is correct, however if you have not already migrated to O365 you might want to test a single mailbox migrating and rolling back as;
I ran across this post the other day
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/20c46273-e95d-4836-b2a7-903f649282a6/mailbox-default-settings-restore-possible-?forum=exchange2010
Of course this could just be a strange anomaly that you will not experience, however its definitely something to watch/tests and of course monitor the link above to see if a resolution is found.
If you experience the same thing you may want to open a case with MS to resolve

Migrating to office 365/Win 8.1 from Office 2010/Win 7.0 the Outlook Personal folders are missing.

In Office 2010 I had emails archived into private data file personal folders/subfolders under Outlook 2010. My Office 2010 installation was wiped out when I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1. The outlook.pst files are still available. When I installed
Office 365 on my Windows 8.1 system, Outlook 365 picked up the .pst and populated the Inbox and Sent folders, but the archived email personal folders are not present, and also the contacts folder is empty. I haven't been able to figure out where on the hard
drive the personal folders were actually archived (in Office 2010 ) or if Office 365 will even support showing these personal folders.

Problem solved. I found a separate .pst file in my backups that contained the personal folders and the contacts. This file wasn't in the Win 8.1 documents\outlook files folder. So two .pst files are needed; one for the emails and the other for the personal
folders.

Decommission Exchange Server 2003 after migration to Office 365

Hello,
We recently made the switch from our Exchange 2003 server to Office 365 with a Directory Sync Server.
Right now both the server is acting as a domain controller and the legacy exchange server. What I would like to do is keep the server as a domain controller and decommission the exchange services.
What do I need to do in order to properly decommission the exchange services without any loss of data/functionality with the directory sync server?
I previously posted this thread http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/148/p/231357/719776.aspx#719776 but was redirected here.

Directory sync is done through your domain controller, not your Exchange server. True, your server serves both roles, but the Exchange services are not required for DirSync. What I would do, though, if I were you, would be to create a temporary
domain controller in your organization and point your DirSync to it. If that doesn't work, you know there is something on your current system that is required for the DirSync and there is possibly some reliance on Exchange. I'd then remove Exchange
from your server (I'd be sorely tempted to rebuild the server, using the same name and IP as before, just to be sure I started with a clean slate) and re-home the DirSync to it.
Good luck ... HTH.

SBS 2011 STANDARD Exchange 2010 Migration to Office 365

done

Hi
If you manually setup an outlook profile and enter in all the settings does it work?
In you local DNS you still have an autodiscover record for your local exchange server? Correct?
