Journal Email Directly to Office 365 using Retention Policy

[Larry Jones]

Leadership was pitched that by going to an A5 license we can ditch our current Journal Provider and use Office 365 Security & Compliance Retention/ediscovery as the primary means of journaling email. 

Questions:

• Has anyone successfully migrated to Office 365 Security & Compliance Retention for all their journaling?
  • If so:
    • Pros
    • Cons
    • Any tips.

Thank You,

-Larry

Hi @Larry Jones 

this sounds interesting. Additonal question: Can you upload current data from external providers during migration?

We are using Mailstore and face problems catching all mail due to dkim / dmarc.

Sorry for not responding sooner... apparently the my RSS feed for this thread is broken..

Yes you can upload pst files using the information that's found Data Governance --> Import within Security and Compliance; however, you can't use upload one massive pst file with everyone's email. You'll have to create a separate pst file for each user and upload those files using instruction outline in Data Governance -> Import. Since were a partner with Microsoft, and that I support over 250K users this process not feasible. So Microsoft looking to develop a process that will allow to upload pst file containing all emails, just don't know when this would be available.

Hope this help
