Exchange 2010 migration to o365
Hi I am looking to migrate 5 mailboxes from exchange 2010 on premise server to office 365 in the cloud, and eventually remove/ shutdown my exchange server and work cloud only . Some things...
Hi! Please see the following documentation for what kind of migrations you can do with office 365! Using third party tool feels overkill for 5 mailboxes!
Also only doing 5 mailboxes seems like it’s better to export 5 pst files from the clients, provision users and licenses in 365, import the pst’s then change dns records to office 365

- Adam thanks for your response.
One of the users mailbox has a size of 42 giga...
Even if I export it to a pst file ...
Wont that be a problem because of the large file size?Hi orrtech,
A PST can be corrupt, is advised that you use the Cutover because the transfer is from your Exchange On-Prem to Exchange Online and using the PST could have issues like corruption a deltas.
yeah! I do agree with NunoAriasSilva !
I've done both successfully but the cut-over is a safer shot
