RE: [Exchange] Shared Group Mailboxes migrating to EXO

All desktops are upgraded to Office 2016 c2r.

Got the book. Need to read it. 😊

I think I have convinced them to move all Shared Group Mailboxes (even if not 
truly shared mailbox defined at this point in Exchange) and then later, look at 
the functionality introduced by both Groups and Teams.    Maybe someone else 
can do that while I finish the migration, remove Public Folders, set up a way 
to migrate PST data, and decommission Exchange 2010. 😊

I understand.

However, without knowing “why” I can’t give you suggestions as to “why not”.

If management wants to use something “because it’s there”; there is no 
effective way to fight that decision.

The only generic reason I can think of is “client support”. If you aren’t using 
Office 2016 c2r, you will find that your client applications don’t have full 
support for all functionality.

I think your best bet for real-world documentation is “Office 365 for IT Pros” 
written by a few friends of mine. It’ll give you the good, bad, and support 
points.

You can still ask questions here. â˜ș

There is a very large FB group that does Office 365.

There are several TechNet forums that do Office 365.

The real question is WHY do you want to switch? Teams and groups may offer 
benefits – but only if you are going to change processes to take advantage of 
those benefits.

To continue the prior thread
 So where are folks getting their information?  
For example, I just had a meeting where the new manager is telling me not to 
migrate shared mailboxes to Office 365 as we move to EXO. She wants to move to 
Groups and Teams.  I almost had a cow.  But where can I find out best practices 
for this so I can come back with some information?  I want to migrate users AND 
their shared mailboxes and once established, they can go at it and do what they 
want.. but leaving shared mailboxes behind in Exchange 2010 is making a TON of 
work for me.  I have to add each user to now have “send on behalf of” to each 
shared group mailbox as “Send As” does not work consistently across on-prem to 
EXO.

So asking.. AND I changed the Subject. :)

Thanks,
Alice
