Match OnPrem Active Directory users to existing Office365 Users

<p>Lets say you have an Office 365 account and cloud only users with mailboxes and now you decide that you want to sync it and match the Office 365 users with your Active Directory users.</p> <p>I prepared a lab with one DC and I created a trial Office 365 E3 account with custom domain. I created users with the same username to both. At Active Directory I set the UPN to match the Office 365 user name and also added the email address.</p> <p>Next I enabled directory

How to disconnect a mailbox & re-assign it to new user in a Hybrid Scenario

How to disconnect a mailbox & re-assign it to new user in a Hybrid Scenario Scenario objectives: We have an Exchange Hybrid setup between on-premises and Exchange Online (Office 365).

File Server in-place Domain Migration

File Server in-place Domain Migration When migrating to a new domain a major part is the file server, especially if there are a lot of data and different permissions. Thankfully Microsoft has a very helpful tool called SubInACL. This tool can be used to read and update security permissions and is much helpful for file server in-place domain migration. The tool can be downloaded here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23510 But after searching a lot there is not a specific

Exchange 2013 & Exchange Online, Grand Full Access to Mailboxes

You can easily provide Full Access Permissions using the GUI, just Edit the mailbox you want, go to Mailbox Delegation and provide Full Access. Both Exchange 2013 and Online is the same. But if you have to provide Full Access massively then you need PowerShell.   The command for a single user is: Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "employee" -User "manager" -AccessRights FullAccess with that command user “manager” will be granded with Full Access permissions to user “employee”   Now lets see

Exchange 2010 & Hbrid Wizard troubleshooooting

Καλησπέρα στην κοινότητα. Θέλω να μοιραστώ μαζί σας τα προβλήματα που αντιμετώπισα σήμερα σε ένα Hybrid Configuration με Exchange 2010 SP3 UR6. Δεν είναι κάτι τραγικό, ούτε κάτι που δεν έχουμε αντιμετωπίσει στο παρελθόν αλλά πιστεύω ότι όσο μοιραζόμαστε τόσο μαθαίνουμε.   Παραλείπω τα αρχικά, Domain verification, DirSync, Certificate request, το Outlook Anywhere ενεργό, όλα τα virtual directories φαίνονται μια χαρά, telnet 443 μια χαρά, OWA μια χαρά, γενικώς καλά και φτάνω στο Hybrid Wizard.
