“Full access” is supported? I was told no.. Do they have plans for send as / send on behalf of or due to the way delegation works (and there attributes) that isn’t exactly possible?

Smith; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Exchange] RE: Upgrade on-prem vs Office 365 To add to the list of items of issues I have with Office 365 😊 - Third party application support. What protocol does your internal applications require? If its just SMTP or mailbox access via POP3 / IMAP4 then you are fine. If it is MAPI access then you will most likely face challenges - DL migration to Office 365. Since a distribution group is simply a AD (universal / security) group object migration is not an option. You will essentially have to recreate those DL in Office 365. There are a few scripts for them but it’s a pain - Public folder migration if you have them (this really goes for any environment if going from traditional PF to Modern PF, I would personally say do Remove-PublicFolder -Identity \ -Recurse -Confirm:$FALSE but I don’t think anyone wants to get fired) - eDiscovery searches are limited in size (from experience and a past premier case we opened a few weeks ago) and will simply fail if the search context is too large with no real warning. - Service outages are something you do not control. Example, the IMAP4 outage recently that went for about a week. We had to migrate application mailboxes back to the on premise environment so those third party applications worked - EOP configuration. EOP out of the box is a bit generic and does not do an “excellent” job at blocking spam (compared to other third party vendors) but at the same time you can setup a few ETR to combat that issue (EOP does have some nice things like inbound DMARC check, which can be applied in a ETR if inbound DMARC fails) - Delegate mailboxes during the migration phase. So if you have a user on premise that has to access someone’s mailbox in Office 365 (full access, send as) it doesn’t work. It does work (full access permissions) if the mailbox the user is accessing is on premise and the user is in Office 365, but Send As / Send on Behalf Of permissions do not. I think this has to do with the way the attributes for those properties are kept, and DirSync cannot replicate them (I think they are protected attributes). So if you are not doing a cutover migration, and doing a long term hybrid then you need to plan appropriately. I honestly didn’t know this at first when I did my first migration years ago and the CEO’s assistant wasn’t that pleased with me. - Managing distribution groups. I think this was fixed in Azure AD Connect but the “ManagedBy” attribute is not synced to Office 365 / Azure AD. This means that if you want to manage a distribution group in Office 365, and that distribution group is still on premise you will need to use AD tools to do so (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2417592) - Troubleshooting methods are a bit more difficult than on premise. Want to pull CRA logs? Only the Get-CalendarDiagnosticLog works and the actual analyze command (which works for 2013+) does not. There is no event viewer, and you cannot see the IIS / RCA logs anymore. To me that is a huge negative since I am now bound to whatever troubleshooting I can do at the client level along with whatever PowerShell options are available in EXO.

Especially since it is now extremely difficult to control when updates are applied to Office and to know “who has what” update. Also, the status windows don’t tend to be updated until hours after an event begins, and will only be updated if a ‘significant’ percentage of Office 365 users are experiencing a problem.

The email is still being downloaded from the server and using bandwidth when it happens. Generally not a big deal if the email doesn’t contain file attachments. If you happen to be a company like my previous company that got 10’s of thousands of very large attachments daily, then it becomes a very big issue. The other issue with exchange being in cached mode, is the users that have large mailboxes and the cache runs their C: drive out of space. (not many companies I know of that install office on a drive other than C: ). Yeah I know with newer versions of outlook you can limited how much gets downloaded in the cache. That sometimes helps but not always, depends on the user.

One thing I suggest while you train you users (oh yes, you’ll want to train them with regards to Archive Mailboxes, retention policies, Junk Email (if not already handled by O365) remind them to dial back on attachments, especially to groups or many recipients where possible. We’ve been trying to push OneDrive for Business for internal sharing of folders/documents and our FTP server for external bulk documents to share with other companies.

We migrated a few thousand users a couple of years ago. 1. You will probably need more internet bandwidth. This will really depend on a few things, how heavily used is your internet connection currently, number of users, and how many file attachments users are going to be opening daily (and of course the bigger the size limit the more bandwidth they will consume) 2. Be prepared for some users to not work, and others to work. Since your mailboxes get spread out across servers it is possible for 1 or more users to have issues while other work fine. This was always annoying as the outages at MS always seemed to find my C-Level execs mailboxes, very rarely just a regular end user 3. Backups in general. I had several issues were a users mailbox became corrupt and after several days of dealing with premier support the determination was made the mailbox and it lagged copies were corrupt and the only option was to delete the mailbox and recreate it (not an option when it is an execs mailbox). So make sure you have someway to back up your mailboxes. 4. I have been away from the day to day management of o365 for a little under a year, but Regular support when I left was HORRIBLE. And while Premier support was not much better, it is something to keep in mind when making the decision. 5. While #1 will have some to do with this, your users need to remember their mailboxes are in the cloud. As a result, that nice speedy 100/Full, or GiG/Full connection they had to your local network which allowed them to open file attachments quickly, has been reduced significantly by the your internet connection and distance to o365. So file attachment that would take 1 or 2 seconds to open, probably now result in outlook displaying the good old, outlook not responding as it opens/saves the attachment.

What are some of the negatives/issues/things we'd lose going cloud vs on-prem? Main things I can think of are: -likely need more Internet bandwidth -won't have archival backups of stores/mailboxes -?
