Exchnage Cutover Migration to office 365
Hi there, I am checking the exchange cutover migration from on-premises to exchange online and all the steps are clear for me. I just have one question that i did not find a clear answer for it...
Hi najwan,
cut over migration means that you have not set up an AAD sync before, right?
In order for users to be able to use the same password from the AD in the cloud, it must be synchronized.
Alternatively, you can set a new one for each user, which will then of course be different from the AD password.
There are two possible scenarios for the migration:
1. setting up the AAD Connect and migrating the mailboxes via the hybrid configuration
2. cutover migration and subsequent synchronization via AAD Connect with manual effort
I would recommend mapping scenario one. You can still switch the mailflow to M365 afterwards.
