Teams - Exchange on-prem
Hi
In these days - what should one be aware of - when rolling out/setting up Teams (besides SharePoint licenses to all users) - when the org. runs Exchange 2016 On-premises ?
- Hi Taen keren,
This is a good place to start
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/exchange-teams-interact
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/exchange-hybrid-organization
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/hybrid-deployment/set-up-office-365-groups
So, ensuring Exchange 2016 CU3+, configuring OAuth, as you said SharePoint licences, configuring Office 365 Groups
My colleague, Shabazz Darr, recently did a blog on the implementation

Hope that answers your question!
Best, Chris

Taen keren This would be us - we're still on premise Exchange. These are what I've run into.
No calendar within Teams - though you can still do 'meet me' and use the meeting button in Outlook (which will install when you install the Teams desktop app)
Sending email in flow can't be done by the Outlook connector, have to use the general mail connector.
You can't use outlook.com but you can use autodiscover.firemtn.com/owa if you have it enabled for users.
No ToDo integration with Outlook and Planner. Planner comments are stored in Exchange and won't be available - no emails will go out
Out of Office settings in Outlook won't transfer over to Teams.
No access to group calendar of the team office group.
SharePoint News connectors don't work.
No sticky notes.
- Hi Robin
What about Contacts in Teams? As we use Teams for calls now, wenn really miss our Contacts in Teams. Would going from on-prem to hybrid help with that? Or is there any other way to get our Contacts into Teams? to get the calendar in Teams with on premise exchange you require oAuth to be running. This can be done via exchange hybrid (Full) or minimal hybrid + https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/configure-oauth-authentication-between-exchange-and-exchange-online-organizations-exchange-2013-help
Wlll check it out when we all get back to the office - we never had time to start our hybrid setup before we all started working from home. We were going to at least set up hybrid and leave the mailboxes on prem.
I've saved this link in our planner plan, though, so once we regroup we'll take a look at it. Thanks!
Robin Nilsson - Thx - Wow - No calendar that's not good...
You did the 'Oauth' and the "Groups writeback" in AD connect?
Taen keren Our Exchange folks did everything they could think of, we never got it to work. We'll get to hybrid Exchange eventually.... the 'meet now' functionality works for us for now.
