Sharepoint online and Exchange online dependency

Hi Folks, I had a doubt on the dependency between migration of sharepoint and exchange online. We have a scenario where on of the business units in an existing company is going to move to a o365...

Yes,
Some of them that come to my memory:
(1) Teams required Exchange Online enabled for users, so you will have to disable Teams until you are fully operational in the new tenant
(2) Notifications sent by SPO are not going to work since each user that is accessing to SPO does not have an e-mail assigned.

By the way, since you are not adding the domain of that Business Unit, I don't see a problem on enabling EXO for the users...of course, it depends on the strategy / approach you are going to follow to make a T2T migration

Thanks Juan,

Im not sure if I understood the business domain part correctly.

There will be a new domain (newdomain.sharepoint.xom) of course and the there will be a new email address for each of the users as well. So exchange mailboxes will be migrated to a new domain.

So you are not doing any kind of hybrid / adsync for the new tenant? if not then when you migrate your SharePoint content you'll have to use something like Sharegate etc. to map to new user accounts so you don't lose that meta data, but you will also have to as Juan said have your new mailbox setup via outlook or access via web to get the e-mails sent from SharePoint since the users it'll have mapped etc. will be the new e-mail in O365.

Not doing Hybrid will make it a little bit more complicated.
