You probably want to ask this on ntsysadmin where Brian Desmond hangs out. He's 
the best identity guy I know.

Subject: [Exchange] FIM to AAD Connect Upgrade

We are upgrading FIM to AAD Connect.   FIM is Version 4.3.647.0   It has been 
installed since July 2014.

There does not seem to be a direct upgrade path.   Most folks seem to have 
older Dir Sync, or Azure AD Sync,  and NOT FIM.  Has anyone does a FIM to AAD 
Connect upgrade?  If so, can I get some links or guidance?


Thanks,
Alice

What's their pricing roughly like? I have sent an inquiry but I am just curious 
in the meantime.

Thanks,

I prefer cloud solutions, like appriver or Symantec.cloud (messagelabs stuff).

I have a company I do work for where I am planning a windows server  
2008r2/exchange 2013 upgrade to windows server 2016/exchange 2016 in the new 
year.
That being said, they currently use forefront for exchange and it is my 
understanding that will go away. It's also not the most inspiring product 
really...

They want a more complete spam solution than what we already use (postfix rules 
on a gateway) so I need to acquire something that I can use after the upgrade.

What are people currently recommending for 50 user sites? I am open to 
recommendations, historically I blocked spam before it hit the exchange server 
however I am open to placing that and the AV on the exchange server. The only 
nice to have is a user accessible way to un-quarantine a message on their own.

Anyone have any opinions?

Thanks!

RE: [Exchange] o365 for ISP account

[Joseph Schvarcz]

You need to have access to a domain's DNS records in order to set it up on
Office 365, do you have access to bellsouth.com dns recs?

Subject: [Exchange] o365 for ISP account

 

Hi all,

The owner of one of the companies I work for had a VERY BAD experience
recently where the ISP (or what was once his ISP )  purged his maibox as of
august this year. Fortunately his outlook at home has everything so he asked
me to get him off the their service AND if possible retain the address.

Now we do have Exchange on premise at the company he owns, but  I figure,
heck  for a few dollars a month (which he doesnt mind paying)  it's probably
better to let O365 handle it, that way if/when something breaks it doesn't
jeopardize me or my contract :).

Now this may sound like a dumb question, so dont laugh at me but my brain is
stuck on $tupId at the moment , I was wondering is it possible in any way
shape or form for him to retain his address but go to o365 account?


So if his email address is joeb...@bellsouth.com can it be moved to o365?
and retain the address?
