Office 365 rollout

Order of 365 rollout.

I have jus moved to another company and they are rolling out office 365.

They are moving over everyone to Teams and OneDrive and later they are migrating Exchange.

I think there is a problem with migrating Exchange after Teams and it has to do with AD profiles, but I am not sure.

Can someone please give me best practice on this and can it be done in this order?

 

Thanks

Warren

    As long as there's some form of Exchange included (eg. Exchange Online or Exchange Server on-premise), you should be fine. Having said that, Teams does rely on Exchange up to a certain degree, and in the case of a migration I'm currently working on (7000+ users) we will first migrate "user data" (Exchange Online, OneDrive for Business) and after that we will allow people to sign in and also use SharePoint Online and Teams.
