Create migration endpoint | (Cutover & Staging Migration)

Pantelis Apostolidis — Tue, 31 May 2016 19:31:11 +0000

Open the Office 365 Exchange Administration Console and go to Recipients > Migration > More > Migration endpoints and click on the plus sign to add a new endpoint.

Select the type of migration endpoint (Outlook Anywhere) and enter the details requested:

An email address that will be migrated – this is used to test mailbox access during configuration
Account with privileges – usually a Domain Administrator, but it can be another user, in which case you must assign permissions as specified here
The privileged account you specify will be used to autodiscover the connection settings and test access to the mailbox specified above.

Click next and verify that the correct details have been populated in the next dialogue box:

Now that the endpoint has been tested you just need to define values for the number of concurrent migrations and supply a descriptive name for the endpoint.

Cutover migration (bullets)

Pantelis Apostolidis — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 20:24:54 +0000

This post is a “quick note” to help on a cutover migration.
Exchange 2013, Exchange 2010, Exchange 2007 & Exchange 2003 versions are supported.

Add your domain to Office 365 & verify
This step requires access to the public DNS registar to create a txt record to verify the domain ownership.
Configure Outlook Anywhere (link)
Add public certificate and enable it for IIS & SMTP (Instructions for Exchange 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013)
Disable UM
Check Primary SMTP
The Primary SMTP address of each on-premises mailbox is used to create the email address for a new Office 365 mailbox
UPN
The UPN is used to create the username for the Office 365 user. It is convenient to change the UPN to match the Primary SMTP. This way the new user will have username@publicdomain.com for username (login). If the UPN is local then the new user will be created with username@domain.onmicrosoft.com username.
Hide not needed mailboxes
Cutover migration moves all mailboxes, mail users, mail contacts, and mail-enabled groups that are listed at the GAL. All hidden from address list are excluded.
Mail enable security groups
Create migration endpoint
Create migration batch
Start the migration batch
Change MX & Autodiscover records to point to O365
When all mailboxes are migrated to O365, change the MX & Autodiscover records to point to O365. In Exchange 2007, Exchange 2010, and Exchange 2013 you should also set Set-ClientAccessServer AutodiscoverInternalConnectionURI to Null.
Stop & Delete the migration batch
Assign licenses
Remove on-premises Exchange

A very nice article about this: Perform a cutover migration of email to Office 365

Enable Outlook Anywhere

Pantelis Apostolidis — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 20:22:32 +0000

Exchange 2007/2010

For Exchange 2007 only. From server manager > Feature > Add Features > Add in the ‘RPC over HTTP Proxy’ feature.
Go to Exchange Management Console -> Sever Configuration -> Client Access
Select the Client Access server
In the Action Pane click “Enable Outlook Anywhere”
At the wizard add the external host name, e.g. “mail.domain.com”, this must be included at the exchange certificate or you need to create a new certificate
Select authentication. In most cases Basic is fine
Click enable and then Finish
This usually takes 15 minutes. Look for Event ID 3008 at the Application Event log to be sure that it is enabled.

Exchange 2003

Install the RPC over HTTP Proxy component on Windows Server 2003 fro mthe Add/Remove components wizard
Configure the RPC virtual directory in IIS to use Basic Authentication and SSL. Go to IIS Manager -> Default Web Site -> click the RPC virtual directory, go to the Directory Security tab and disable the Checkbox for Enable Anonymous Access and enable the Basic Authentication checkbox and finally enable SSL.

In Exchange 2013, Outlook Anywhere is enabled by default

Create Distribution Groups on Exchange using EMS

Pantelis Apostolidis — Mon, 11 May 2015 12:48:28 +0000

To create a distribution group on Exchange 2010, 2013 & Exchange Online using EMS the command is:

New-DistributionGroup -Name "Name" -DisplayName "Display Name" -Alias "Alias" -PrimarySmtpAddress "EmailAddress" -Type "Security or Distribution"

To create distribution groups from a list, using a bulk command first create a csv file with the groups details. The csv must have the Display Name, the Email Address and the alias for each group. The run the below command:

import-csv C:tempgroups.csv | foreach {New-DistributionGroup -Name $_.name -DisplayName $_.displayname -Alias $_.alias -PrimarySmtpAddress $_.emailaddress -Type Security }

Set the Distribution Group to require or not Sender Authentication. If this is True then only senders for inside the Exchange Organization can send emails to the list. It this is False then everyone can send emails to the list.

Set-DistributionGroup "Display Name" -RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled $False

Add members to distribution group using PowerShell

Pantelis Apostolidis — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 13:20:30 +0000

For Office 365 first Connect PowerShell to Exchange Online

$UserCredential = Get-Credential
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $Session

For both Office 365 and on-premise Exchange server:

Prepare the CSV file for the import, a list with a title (lets say “alias”) and all the email addresses of the users that will be added to the list.

Run the import command:

Import-CSV list.csv | foreach {Add-DistributionGroupMember "group email address" -Member $_.alias)
