F1 FirstLine workers and Hybrid Exchange deployment
We currently have a hybrid Exchange / office 365 environment with a view to going full cloud mail. We do not normally give our homeworkers email, but I am interested in the F1 licensing as we also want to move SharePoint online. The F1 license looks perfect while not being overly expensive.
I am testing at the moment, have moved a test mailbox online, and assigned an F1 license to it. Now I cannot send email to it. The online mailbox can send email fine, but my on prem mailbox sends, but it doesn't arrive at the test MB. I can "work around" this by usin the onmicrosoft mail address, but that is not acceptable.
I find conflicting info online - some say Hybrid is ok, others say not.
Any advice?
- It should work fine. Is this mailbox the only one you have moved to cloud? Or have you moved other E licenses over and they work? Need to determine if it's a config issue in general or tied directly to the F1 user.
- It's the only on prem mailbox I have moved to cloud so far. I don't want to risk losing any data until happy to move fully. I have an Admin account that is solely O365 "in cloud" and that is working fine, but it does not have the company.com mail address - just the onmicrosoft one.
To be clear - I have no E licenses, just Business Premium. The mailbox having issues was originally given a Bus Prem license when it was moved over. Today I started testing the F1 and swapped the licenses over.How did you perform the move? And what kind of object remains for this user on-premises? Generally speaking, you need to have a mail user, with its targetaddress pointing to user@tenant.mail.onmicrosoft.com.
