I was under the impression that auto-discover only changed the proxy settings 
but not the server specified in the profile. Is this not the case?

At some point you will move autodiscover from pointing onsite to Office365 and 
that will allow the devices to resync their profiles.

Subject: [NTSysADM] Exchange to Office 365

Hi all,
I have a few questions regarding an upcoming mail migration. We have a client 
who is currently on an in-house Exchange 2010 server. They are potentially 
moving to Office 365. We've had some good results with migration tools in the 
past so that part should be covered. My questions are regarding the local users 
and their Outlook/mobile device email accounts. Ideally we'd like to reduce the 
amount of work required for each end user. Is it possible, when performing a 
migration of this kind, for the users to continue to use their existing Outlook 
profile (active sync accounts as well)? If so, what needs to happen for this to 
work? If not, what are some steps we can take to reduce the amount of 
re-configuration for each user? I've done some reading about a hybrid 
Exchange/Office 365 setup but it seems to me that the profile will still need 
to be re-configured once you make the final cut over. On that note, can anyone 
comment on why you would use a hybrid environment and whether or not something 
like that would help here?
Thanks!


Jeremiah
