Description

Using third-party tools to perform Exchange-to-O365 migrations can be extremely costly, especially for small businesses with very little IT budget. Using the FREE native tools that Microsoft provides vastly reduces hard costs, but using them can be confusing. As such, I've authored this outstanding course on migrating email from on-premises Exchange to Office 365 using Microsoft's native tools.

In this course, the student will learn how to prepare for (and perform) a cut-over migration from an on-premises Microsoft Exchange 2010 server to Office 365 / Exchange Online.

Topics covered include:

Setup of the O365 Tenant Account
Verifying Domain Ownership
Preparing Active Directory for the Migration
Preparing the On-Premises Exchange Org for Migration
Connecting O365 to Your Exchange Email System
Migrating Mailboxes to O365
Performing the Cutover to O365
Re-Routing Email to Office 365
Assigning Licenses to O365 Users
Post-Migration Tasks & Cleanup
Migrating Public Folders to O365
Configuring Azure AD Connect to Sync AD to O365
Decommissioning the On-Premises Exchange Server

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to successfully plan, prepare for, and perform a cut-over migration from Exchange 2010 to Office 365 using the native tools that Microsoft provides.

Who this course is for:

This course is perfect for IT staff of small companies who are tasked with migrating fewer than 500 Exchange mailboxes to Office 365.
