How do you handle allowing students create groups?
MicrosoftHi Matt. Creating a separate sub-domain or domain primarily for Groups is certainly a good strategy, and is one we use at Microsoft. For Admins, this eases the discovery and management of Groups significantly. We talk about multi-domain support in this article and even have an example of how schools would implement this scenario (ex. students.contoso.com for students and faculty.contoso.com for faculty members).
What other concerns do you have around students creating Groups?
This is very helpful. We have over 72,000 students and are now in the process of moving over 50+ email servers on campus in to Office 365.

Matt, please keep us posted on your groups deployment. We would love to help in anyway we can to help enable your students to use groups.
Although not feasible in our Staff domain, I will probably enforce a Group naming prefix in our Student domain to help students identify Office 365 Groups/Plans/Email addresses in the GAL.
