Lync Server 2013 - Upgrade to Teams

[Navishkar Sadheo]

Hi All

Hope everyone is well. Could someone possibly assist me please? I have recently been tasked with moving our entire organisation to Teams only. We currently have an on-premise Lync Server 2013 server and we are also making use of Teams. Can someone point me in the right direction of where to start? Like a guide or something.

My Teams setup is currently in "Coexistence Mode". Where to from here?

Can I just flip the switch to "Teams Only" mode?

Appreciate any guidance and advice..

Hi,

You should start with setting up a Lync Hybrid so that you can move your users from Lync to Skype Online. When they are moved to Skype Online you can make them TeamsOnly users.

The Journey you is similar to moving from Skype server to Teams, but you can't move directly to Teams you have to move to Skype Online first. Read more here
