Plan for Office 365 migration and adoption success
For the final post in our series that began in April as part of the Tech Community's Driving Adoption theme, I wanted to round things out by talking about why creating a plan is so important to a successful transition to Office 365. I have to thank @Jeff James for providing such a great lead-in for me with his June post, "Celebrating Migration to Office 365." He did an excellent job of illustrating why making the transition to Office 365 requires a good plan. Or as legendary American professional baseball player, manager, and coach Yogi Berra put it, "If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else." In his own inimitable way, Berra cautions us about the potential risks that come with a lack of proper planning, and emphasizes just what makes planning so important. Creating a plan provides the opportunity to clearly articulate what needs to be done, how to get it done, who will get it done and what they'll be doing, and when it will be done. For everyone, top to bottom. With this in mind, let's take a closer look at three key aspects of planning that can lead to successful project outcomes. Create the plan. The idea that you need to make a plan might seem obvious, but too often, major projects begin without clear plans in place. Make sure you carve out enough time for you and your team to develop a viable plan. If you're working with a technology or services partner, it might be tempting to leave all of the planning details entirely to them. However, if you're responsible for driving Office 365 adoption, you should take an active role in the development of your organization's transition plan. This effort ensures that you're up to speed on every aspect of the plan, and enables you to solidify the support of top-level sponsors and recruit champions to help you build excitement among users. Share the plan. Now that the plan is complete, you'll want to get the word out to everyone across your company. Because you've been actively involved in planning your organization's transition to Office 365, you can more easily articulate what's going on throughout the process to management, colleagues, and users. Your planning experience will also help you develop and provide more effective training for users. And you'll be better at evangelizing the benefits of Office 365, which will, in turn, motivate users to adopt Office 365 more quickly. All of this hard work pays off for you, too, as your enhanced value to your team helps advance your career. Follow the plan. To get the most out of your plan, you have to follow through on it. That means more than ensuring that Office 365 is up and running. You have to stay focused on the specific, realistic goals and expectations you've committed to, measuring progress and performance against the success criteria you've established, and reporting outcomes. You'll need to monitor where adoption is lagging and devise new ways to train and motivate users over the longer term. Following a plan doesn't mean there's no room for flexibility. In fact, a good plan adds agility by taking the guesswork out of day-to-day tasks. Wondering where to start?

1. install Google Chrome (or other Chromium based browsers, including Edge itself) 2. install Microsoft Autofill extension 3. Sign into your Microsoft account in the extension 4. Access your Passwords safely and hassle-free * you do Not need to sign in to Google account for this. ** this works on Mac and Windows too, basically any environment where you can install this extension in. The extension also has Import feature, so you can import your passwords at once from a file and save them to your Microsoft account. Questions & answers about Microsoft Authenticator app - Azure AD | Microsoft Docs Q: How are my passwords protected by the Authenticator app? A: Authenticator app already provides a high level of security for multi-factor authentication and account management, and the same high security bar is also extended to managing your passwords. Strong authentication is needed by Authenticator app: Signing into Authenticator requires a second factor. This means that your passwords inside Authenticator app can't be accessed even if someone has your Microsoft account password. Autofill data is protected with biometrics and passcode: Before you can autofill password on an app or site, Authenticator requires biometric or device passcode. This ensures that even if someone else has access to your device, they cannot fill or see your password, as they’d be unable to provide the biometric or device PIN. Furthermore, a user cannot open the Passwords page unless they provide biometric or PIN, even if they turn off App Lock in app settings. Encrypted Passwords on the device: Passwords on device are encrypted, and encryption/decryption keys are never stored and always generated on-the-fly. Passwords are only decrypted when user wants to, that is, during autofill or when user wants to see the password, both of which require biometric or PIN. Cloud and network security: Your passwords on the cloud are encrypted and decrypted only when they reach your device. Passwords are synced over an SSL-protected HTTPS connection, which ensures no attacker can eavesdrop on sensitive data when it is being synced. We also ensure we check the sanity of data being synced over network using cryptographic hashed functions (specifically, hash-based message authentication code).optional suggestion: new menu bar app for mac
i wish i could launch one of my edge profile (no matter from which edge) directly in the menu bar. so you create a profile launcher.app and then i can search a profile installed on my 4 browser, without need to launch a browser. at the moment we can do similar things once the browser is launched using the dock icon or using the sync icon or using the menu bar option inside edge. but there is still the limit that we can do it for one browser. we cannot search profiles installed on all 4 browser. plus every time you launch the browser, you open the last used profile. so we first need to close and then switch (which requires time). profile switching is slower in edge compared to google. now with this new app you would simply launch a profile inside an edge app, without launching the previous profile.Live Webinar: Understand Key Roles in Making Office 365 Successful!

Google Workspace migration to Microsoft 365 with multiple domains
I'm managing a project to migrate mail from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 via (Google Workspace Migration). My scenario is composed as follows: Primary domain in GWS: domain1.com Secondary domain in GWS: domain2.com Routing domain (alias domain) in GWS: m365.domain1.com and gws.domain1.com Microsoft side: accepted domain: domain1.com,domain2.com, m365.domain1.com and gws.domain1.com Users domain1.com have aliases routing domain m365.domain1.com and external forwarding gws.domain2.com. Users domain2.com have aliases routing domain m365.domain1.com and external forwarding gws.domain1.com. For users domain1.com the hybrid coexistence scenario, mailflow and batch work perfectly. For domain2.com users, the batch works, but at the time of completion, it returns an error that Google asks for verification of the forwarding address, as it is different from domain2.com. “GmailForwardingAddressRequiresVerificationException” Which configuration am I doing wrong? And above all, is the scenario in question supported? Thank youLive Webinar: Make Meetings Matter with Skype for Business
