Hi guys, great to see another Office 365 community forming- and this time aimed at IT pros!
My name is Maor Bracha, an Office 365 expert and a moderator over at the Microsoft Answers Office 365 community.
Thought I can start my introduction to this community by sharing a tool I like to call "SafetyNet", so here it goes:
[TechNet quote]
"...If you're working with Office 365 with AAD-Connect, you probably came across the question of- what happens when an employee has left the company and we, as the IT department, would like to remove his AD user and Office 365 license while retaining the mailbox data.
Microsoft gave us the "Convert to Shared" button, but the cause will be losing archive data if exists, and generally does not solve the issue if we would like to remove the AD user, which in it's turn will remove the Office 365 based user and mailbox data. Of course we can restore the deleted mailbox within the retention period, but that is a work arounf, and many of my clients are not comfortable with this solution which may be a gateway for trouble.
To overcome this obstacle, I have created the SafetyNet tool.
This tool will allow IT staff to retain mailbox data- including online archive, which will be replicated into a license-free shared mailbox, as well as migrate all email and x500 addresses.
The tool will also take car of permissions required for the process, basically allowing every IT admin an easy and accisible solution for this prediciment..."
