The course will focus, steps by step, on the Hybrid migration method, which is the most common method used by thousands of customers globally, for the migration from legacy exchange server on premises deployments to Exchange online.
The course will cover both the theoretical information and the hands-on labs for this migration step by step.
By the end of course, you will learn how to complete a full Exchange hybrid deployment and migrate all (or some) of your mailboxes to Exchange online.
You will learn as well how to configure on premises Exchange organization coexistence with Exchange online organization which provides best user’s experience.
By the end of this course, as an IT professional, you will have the required hands on skills to complete such project, and the knowledge to answer any questions related to Exchange migration to office 365; both of these would elevate your profile to higher paying jobs in the Microsoft Office 365 Domain.

Pretty good content and explanation. The process to migrate is pretty straight forward. Some URLs and tools will need to be updated. Even though the content is still valid, some updates will be needed for new versions of Exchange 2016 & 2019, also user interfaces with O365. Another scenario can be added, such as migrate a mailbox from on-prem to a tenant with an existing mailbox.

Very interesting as it was explained in a detailed way and step wise in how to do the migration. Course is very useful even for a person who doesn't know about M365. Would also want to know if there are other M365 courses which I can enroll with same trainer.

Good and very detailed, but disappointed that it's dated. Expected that it would be Exchange 2013 or 2016 related, not Exchange 2010 which is no longer supported. But I still learnt a lot of the fundamentals which I will be able to apply in a 2013 or 2016 platform environment.

This course is a concentrated experience in Exchange on-premises migration to Microsoft 365 (old name 'Office 365'). The instructor is engaging, very experienced and knowledgable, and really delivers. This is a course you will not get disappointed to take.

Course went over basics of setting up hybrid configuration and also migrating a single mailbox as well as batch migration. Would have liked to see more powershell command equivalents. Also, would like to see more information on automating account provisioning, account modification, and account deletion.

Quite good. On-premise environment on Exchange 2010. It doesn't disturb but it shoud be on 2013 or 2016. Step-by-step migration process are explaind and shown. Admin should have knowledge after this course to migrate on-prem Exchange to Office 365. Disadventages of this course. It doesn't have how-to summary file in format to download.

I loved everything about this course. It was a real-life environment with plenty of "hands-on" examples and walk-through's on the topics in each module. Everything was explained well and I didn't feel like anything was glossed over.

Overall a good course, although for me personally it felt incomplete towards the end as it did not cover the scenario of decommissioning the Exchange on-premise servers, if they were no longer required after all the Users had been migrated.
By Piotr Kosmatko on 7/25/2019
Overall GREAT course. It was precisely what I was looking for in regards to learning overall procedure for exchange migration. That said, there were couple times that the instructor spoke rather fast and I had to replaying the video multiple times to get exactly what was being said but other then that good stuff.

Great concise course on setting up Hybrid environment from Exchange on-prem to Exchange Online. Apart from some annoying side-effects when updating the on-screen PowerPoint (which were removed after a few slides... thankfully haha) the course was enjoyable and informative. Thanks for your hard work Ashraf!
