Does this mean that our Exch2010 hybrid environment will stop working (not be able to send mail to EOL)? We are in a situation where we cannot raise our AD domain functional level to AD2012R2 since we are still running AD2003 servers to facilitate our outdated broadcast environment (National Broadcaster). The projected rollout completion date of the new broadcasting software is only April 2024.
- As Scott as said, upgrading/patching should be a first priority when possible. I'm sure you know it already. However, if you pass your mail thru a supported gateway (or non-Microsoft gateway) first before reaching Office 365, mail should still flow properly. You might look at something like mimecast, barracuda, or similar to do some second-level security/hygiene/dlp stuff before passing to office 365. this could give you more time to complete a migration or upgrade. @scott...not trying to circumvent, but some orgs are complicated and can't move quickly. Priasoft is 20+ years of migration stuff...so i'm familiar.
- Excellent thank you Eric! This might just buy us the time we need. Broadcasting is our core business and mail is critical to this. Will engage our ISP tomorrow to discuss.
- Eventually, yes; we will block email from Exchange 2010 servers that use an inbound connector type of OnPremises. We would strongly recommend you accelerate your plans to move off these outdated and unsupported platforms.
- Thank you Scott. What timeframe are we talking about when you say "eventually"?
- Exchange 2010 comes after Exchange 2007, so we'll start with those in a few months.
