Hybrid Migration - EOP
That’s how it worked for us. I simply disabled the old connectors until mail flow was confirmed, I then removed them leaving the new hybrid ones in place.
Thanks for your reply Ian,
I will be doing it out of hours so it shouldn't be too much of an issue to disable to old connectors.
With regards to the actual flow of mail, currently:
Receiving:
- Our mx records point at EOP
- EOP filters our mail then passes it to our on-premise exchange server
- The on-premise exchange server then routes the message into the recipient mailbox.
Sending:
- When going out it goes the other direction
- We do have it go to a connector (crossware) which adds a signature before it leaves our on-premise environment
- Then it goes to EOP and out
Will this flow be much different when I continue with the Hybrid migration setup?
Just to clarify, this will be a Exchange 2010 Hybrid setup.
I would highly recommend you run the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant and print out the results for your chosen deployment. It was an essential read for me when creating a hybrid environment. The HTML version contains hyperlinks to essential reading including detailed mail flow scenarios.
I created a plan in Planner that detailed all the required steps. Highly useful.
