Course Description

Using third-party tools to perform Exchange-to-O365 migrations can be extremely costly, especially for small businesses with very little IT budget available.  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 performing an Express Migration from an on-prem Exchange environment to Office 365 by leveraging a Minimal Hybrid solution.

In this course, the student will learn how to prepare for (and perform) an Express Migration from an on-premises Microsoft Exchange 2013 server to Office 365 / Exchange Online using a Minimal Hybrid approach.

Topics covered include:

  • Adding and Verifying Domains in O365
  • Preparing Active Directory for the Migration
  • Preparing the On-Premises Exchange Organization for Migration
  • Deploying and Running the Hybrid Migration Wizard
  • Deploying and Configuring Azure AD Connect 
  • Migrating Mailboxes to O365 via the Native EAC
  • Performing the Cutover to O365
  • Re-Routing Email to Office 365
  • Assigning Licenses to O365 Users
  • Post-Migration Tasks & Cleanup

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to successfully plan, prepare for, and perform an Express Migration from Exchange 2013 to Office 365 using a Minimal Hybrid approach.

Abgesehen von einer, für mich speziellen Frage, wurde alles ad hoc beantwortet und ist auch immer noch aktuell, trotz ein paar kleinen Veränderungen.

By Vlad Railian on 10/23/2024

Straight forward and clear explanation of what is expected and how to accomplish it. Though the materials are a bit dated compared to today's Microsoft 365 eco system, the essence of the course still applies.

By Kevin Davidson on 2/7/2021

A good revision of some skills I performed a good 7 years ago. No chance you are doing a tenant to tenant migration one is there?

By Sergio Londono on 10/22/2020

More than satisfied. I got information for problems that I am facing today like: STMP relay, No allow create alias in O365 when Azure AD connect is enabled, with Azure AD connect which attribute from AD will be sync to O365. This training help me a lot on my work.

Good course that covered the migration process in a logical flow. Stages were well laid out and the instructor explained the steps clearly. Instructor was engaging and course content was at a suitable level.

Excellent course. Sometimes the screens resolution was blurry but manageable

By Gregory Baharoff on 11/30/2018

Best instructor of any of the Udemy classes. Concise but very informative. If he offers other Udemy classes I will certainly sign up for them.

By Ankush Walia on 7/10/2018

Would be helpful if apart from Microsoft tools, you can also include a small chapter on other 3rd party tools available in market for the migration and a comparison of those tools with the MS tools.

By Gilles Guezille on 4/4/2018

While this "express" migration is very well explained I wish to see the process for a cutover migration where the actual mail will be moved by using PST files

By Wasif Abidi on 3/14/2018

We would like to see Full-Hybrid as well if that's possible. Your previous course for SMB as well.
