Cross forest Office 365 Migration(s)
1 TopicADDS trusted forests.domains A. OnPrem EX2013 B.Office 365 into new ADDS and New 0365 Tenant?
Greetings. We have two company's (each with their own forest and single domain) that have operated in a trusted ADDS forest configuration. Each forest contains their own respective mail system. One has on-premise Exchange 2013. The other ADDS forest has O365 and uses Azure AD Connect to sync on-premise ADDS users to o365. These mail systems are utilizing Galsync (enow) to support cross forest GAL's. We are not (yet) using o365 SharePoint, one drive, or other 0365 services other than email. *We will later in the new named entity. We are now going to merge these two environments (ADDS forest(s) / domain(s)) into a new named ADDS entity (forest and domain) - and new o365 tenant. This new named entity will utilize many of the o365 offerings. I have migrated/merged trusted forests, and Exchange on-premise 2010/2013 systems together via ADMT and mailbox moves. This looks to be a bit more challenging. Has anyone performed a similar migration/merge? Would they be willing to share how they did it? Any insight, links, or thoughts are very much appreciated.
