Organization of this eBook
This eBook explores the journey taken by Microsoft to move Exchange from an on-premises application deployed in corporate datacenters to its current state where it copes equally well with on-premises implementations as it does in servicing almost a hundred million mailboxes inside Office 365. The topics include:
- Deciding when the time is right to move workload to the cloud
- Migration tools and techniques
- Hybrid connectivity between Exchange on-premises and Exchange Online, including directory synchronization, federation, and single sign-on.
- The tools available to manage Exchange Online.
- How to manage mailboxes, groups, and public folders.
- How to manage address books and address book policies.
- Using some features only available to Exchange Online such as Clutter.
- Reporting Office 365.
- Managing hybrid recipients.
- Understanding how mail flows between Exchange on-premises, Exchange Online, and the Internet.
- Connecting clients to Exchange Online.
- Achieving compliance with retention policies and data loss prevention.
- Executing eDiscovery searches across Exchange and SharePoint.
- Protecting information with rights management.
- Auditing.
- Making the most of Office 365, including OneDrive for Business, SharePoint, Office Delve, Office Video, and a touch of Yammer.
It’s quite a set of topics to cover in a single book. We hope that you’ll like what you find.
