    30. Entering Primary Contact Information in MOCP Select country Country choice scopes the services Do not use Partner Live ID Important information sent to associated Windows Live ID INSTRUCTOR NOTES You may choose to demonstrate this process by using Microsoft Online live services and following the steps below: Go to https://mocp.microsoftonline.com Select your country to begin. Sign-in to create your profile. Use the customer’s Windows Live ID. You should note that activation and future communications are sent to this ID. Partners should complete this process with the customer present It is important to use the customer’s Windows Live ID, as the Windows Live ID is associated with the application and cannot be changed. You should note that an individual Windows Live ID can not be associated with multiple accounts. The Windows Live ID is used for important communications You can create additional Windows Live IDs for new applications if required. If you need to change the Windows Live ID associated with an account, you will need to contact support. Understanding the BPOS on-boarding process and requirement Experience has shown that there is inconsistency in creating the customer’s MSOL account. Should the customer set up the account, the VAR, the SI Migration partner, or Microsoft? The easiest solution is for the customer to create their account at MSOL under the guidance of the partner. The initial Windows Live account used to create the account remains tied to that account. It is not possible to change this account assignment without a service request. Working with the account management team to establish the billing requirement Planning, testing, and migration phases may take more than 30 days to complete. There are two key areas to manage: You will need to work with the MSOL operations team to extend the trial period for the duration of the project plus some days after “go live,” to allow the customer to try the service and set the clock for the start of their service. Configuring billing and invoicing correctly, so that the customer receives a monthly invoice referencing a customer PO, can become a recurring issue.

    39. User Domains Service administrators can add User domains for a company User domains Can be used with or without Exchange Services Provide simplified log on, for example, toby@contoso1.microsoftonline.com becomes toby@contoso.com Send/receive e-mail with user domain Cannot be used with Microsoft SharePoint Online sites Multiple user domains can be added Adding a user domain does not affect mail routing as only DNS changes determine routing INSTRUCTOR NOTES Service administrators can add user domains to microsoftonline.com; microsoftonloine.com describes these domains as custom domains. In most instances, you will add a custom domain in order to send and receive e-mail from a specific domain rather than the microsoftonline.com domain. You should note that it is possible to use a custom domain without Microsoft Exchange Online. The main benefit of custom domains without Exchange Online would be to have vanity user name accounts, which may be easier to remember when logging on.

    40. Validating Your Domain DNS domains must be verified before use Domain verified by adding a DNS entry Control of DNS proves ownership of the domain Subdomains do not require validation Verification in the Administration Center Run Verification Wizard Generates a CNAME record to add Add the CNAME record your DNS system Complete validation in Administration Portal DNS replication timing may delay validation Timeout (TTL) for DNS caching is not standard Often happens within minutes Typically not longer than 24 hours INSTRUCTOR NOTES All custom domains must be verified to ensure that you are the owner of the domain. The Administration Center hosts a verification wizard that enables you to verify your domain. The verification wizard provides you with a CNAME entry to place in your DNS entry for the domain. You should add this CNAME record for the domain with the provided information; the format of the CNAME entry is similar to a GUID. When you have updated the CNAME entry, you should return to the wizard. The verification wizard will then query your DNS records for the requested entry. When microsoftonline.com is able to verify the entry, you have successfully proved that you have the ability to manage the DNS records for the domain. Microsoft Online documentation is available with specific instructions for some ISPs. Verification of your DNS entry may take some time due to latency in publishing and propagating DNS names. You should note that subdomains do not require validation. For example, if you have verified contoso.com, you can add hq.contoso.com without validation.

    41. Alternate E-mail Address Create alternate e-mail addresses for: Multiple identities on a single account Multiple forms of same name Special function names such as help@contoso.com Multiple domains for same mailbox Only allows validated domains Used only for outgoing e-mail in populating “From:” Set default e-mail address if needed INSTRUCTOR NOTES The Alternative e-mail address field enables you to add one or more secondary e-mail addresses for the user’s e-mail service. No storage quota is assigned to this alias. Storage for the alternative e-mail address is assigned to the account whose user settings you are editing. The address can include user account aliases and other verified domains When there is more than one e-mail address for a user, you can select which address will be the default. To change the default e-mail address, click the address you want to be the new default, and then click Set as default. You can create an alternative e-mail address of support@contoso.com to send all messages to your company’s primary support contact rather than creating a user account solely for support e-mail messages. This process ensures that whenever the support contact user sends a message, the message appears to come from the support@contoso.com address rather than an internal address.INSTRUCTOR NOTES The Alternative e-mail address field enables you to add one or more secondary e-mail addresses for the user’s e-mail service.

    43. Enable Inbound Messages Inbound messaging disabled by default for custom domains Cannot enable Inbound until ownership is validated (as shown) Enabling Inbound calls EHS, and adds the domain Requires MX record change Enable for Authoritative domains Potential 1–2 hour delay DNS caching must refresh Internal records need to update INSTRUCTOR NOTES You can use the domain you were assigned when you created your Microsoft Online account to send and receive e-mail. By adding your organization’s domain name to your Microsoft Online account, you can send e-mail from that domain name. You must modify the configuration to enable Microsoft online services to enable inbound messaging for additional domain names. You should direct e-mail messages for your organization’s domain to a single location. If your company has an existing e-mail server receiving your organization’s incoming e-mail messages, you can continue to use the same server. Some user mailboxes will remain on the local server, and other users may be hosted by microsoftonline.com. This coexistence requires the Active Directory Synchronization and Migration tool to configure your local Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange Server systems. Coexistence is discussed in detail in the Migration presentation. INSTRUCTOR NOTES You can use the domain you were assigned when you created your Microsoft Online account to send and receive e-mail.

This includes reading documentation, watching webcasts, and attending courses. Preparing. This includes signing up for the services described as “Try or Buy,” registering and verifying custom domains, customer training, installing TLS on Exchange, upgrading servers or services, adding required features for the migration tools such as the .NET Framework and Windows PowerShell, and identifying mailboxes that are too large. Establishing coexistence. This includes setting up Microsoft Online Services for coexistence by installing and configuring directory synchronization. Data Migration. This includes configuring mailbox migration, activating users, and migrating content. Post Migration. This includes disconnecting mailboxes, modifying MX records, and cleaning the on-premise Active Directory. Your planning should include installing the single sign-on tool, training for users, and performing other client-side activities as required.Animated Slide INSTRUCTOR NOTES The coexistence and migration workflow consists of the following tasks: Planning.

Coexistence Explained Coexistence refers to the transient or permanent state where active mailboxes exist both on-premise and online for the same e-mail domain Coexistence often occurs during non-Greenfield migrations as a transient state: Unlikely to complete migration of users/mailboxes over one weekend Important that mail flow is not interrupted during onboarding Important to provide design allowing for easy fallback to on-premise mailbox Coexistence uses the Directory Synchronization and Migration tools INSTRUCTOR NOTES You should use the slide to explain Active Directory coexistence. INSTRUCTOR NOTES You should use the slide to explain Active Directory coexistence.

    64. Flexible Deployment Choices Coexistence enables hybrid deployments that synchronize on-premise environments with Microsoft Online Services INSTRUCTOR NOTES For reasons such as data compliance, customization requirements, flexibility, and so on, customers may want to deploy a hybrid approach between online and on-premise. Another key value we provide is the flexibility to choose your deployment model between on-premises and online by geography, workload, or roles. In this example, the customer decides to deploy Exchange Server in their own data center for users in their headquarter and have their branch office users subscribe to Exchange Online. To enable a seamless experience such as a single address book, we provide a tool to synchronize entries in your on-premises directory with our Online directory. With this tool, any changes you make on your directory are synchronized with our directory such as changing adding or deleting a user, change user attributes, and so on. For SharePoint, in this example, customers can choose to deploy a set of site collections on their on-premise SharePoint deployment and another set of site collections is deployed on SharePoint Online. In this case, no matter where the users are at, they can access to sites from both site collections.

Experience During Coexistence (1 of 2) Unify Global Address List Online users have a rich Global Address List (GAL) experience, including manager, direct reports, contacts, and phone numbers On-premise and MSO users see the same GAL Modify accounts in the on-premise forest; changes are shown in the online content No need to manually create or update MSO identities Manage accounts in Active Directory rather than online Achieve uninterrupted mail flow between online and on-premise using the same e-mail domain INSTRUCTOR NOTES Coexistence Coexistence provides an on-premise and online synchronized directory to use and share the same e-mail address and namespace to reduce end-user disruption. Whether users are connected to on-premise or online mailbox, their e-mail address remains the same. Directory synchronization provides a method to synchronize an on-premise Active Directory with the Microsoft online directory. This operation facilitates a unified GAL with all objects displayed in the online and on-premise global address lists. When running directory synchronization, the primary location for user information is in the on-premise Active Directory. To maintain directory consistency, all changes to user account details must be completed in the on-premise Active Directory. These changes are synchronized every three hours and any directory changes are synchronized with Microsoft Online Services.

Microsoft Online Services Directory Synchronization Details Users, Groups, and Contacts All Users are synchronized as logon-disabled inactivated users All Contacts are synchronized and ready for use Groups are synchronized, if they are mail-enabled and use a verified online e-mail domain Passwords are not replicated Custom Active Directory attributes are not replicated Service accounts should not be replicated Synchronization is one way push to Online Changes added to online are not pushed to on-premise Manage user mail address and UPN in Microsoft Online Subsequent updates are deltas only Groups are synchronized as online distribution lists On-premise mail-enabled security groups are synchronized as distribution lists On-premise distribution lists and groups are synchronized as distribution lists INSTRUCTOR NOTES Directory Synchronization DirSync will synchronize the entire Active Directory forest, including users, contacts, and groups. All users are synchronized as disabled, requiring an online administrator to activate the account before use. Contacts are synchronized as-is and are ready for immediate use. Groups to be synchronized must be mail-enabled and use an e-mail domain created and verified by using Microsoft Online Services. If an on-premise distribution list uses an e-mail address that is not found in Microsoft Online Services, the group will not be synchronized. Authoritative When directory synchronization is established and objects are synchronized, these objects must then be managed by using on-premise Active Directory tools. After synchronization, most online object attributes appear dimmed and cannot be edited. Exceptions include the log on UPN and e-mail addresses. Once an online user is activated and assigned a mailbox, any on-premise changes to a user’s e-mail address, including marriage status and name changes, are not updated in the online company. An online administrator must manage these settings by using the Microsoft Online Administration Center (MOAC). Synchronization is one-way, from the on-premise Active Directory to the Microsoft Online Services Active Directory. Changes to an online object are not synchronized back to the on-premise Active Directory. This includes changes to e-mail addresses made by updating the MOAC. Groups must be mail-enabled. When a group is verified, the group, and membership of that group, is synchronized into the online company. Any mail-enabled security groups are converted to Microsoft online distribution lists during the synchronization process.

Mailbox Migration During the Pilot phase, migrate the mailboxes for your pilot users Depending on the source platform (Exchange, Groupwise, Notes, POP/IMAP) there are mailbox migration tools available Exchange Server, Hosted Exchange, POP, and IMAP: Microsoft Online Services Migration Tools Windows PowerShell™ Third-party solutions including Lotus Notes, Groupwise: Visit the Microsoft Partner Solution Showcase at http://www.microsoft.com/online/partner/solutions-showcase.mspx INSTRUCTOR NOTES INSTRUCTOR NOTES

    72. Self-Migration: Outlook PST files Using Outlook PST files: Export desired mail into PST Import into new online profile Animated Slide INSTRUCTOR NOTES Self-Migration You should use this process when there are no online administrators available to use the transporter tool. You should also use this process when users access e-mail through a POP3 or IMAP mail service and need to migrate their own mail. When migrating a POP3 e-mail account, only the Inbox and any subfolders are migrated. Additional data including calendar and contact information is stored in the user profile and is not migrated. POP3 users should perform a self migration to move all current data to the Microsoft Exchange Online mailbox. You can migrate IMAP4 folders to the Microsoft Exchange Online mailbox by using the transporter tool. Note: Remember that POP3 mailboxes only reflect a user’s Inbox, with no real additional folders such as Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and so on. When performing a transporter migration for POP3, only the Inbox and any subfolders under the Inbox will be migrated, thus leaving the other items behind (stored in the Outlook profile). Self-migration will pull all of the user’s Outlook profile information, depending on what folders/items you select, and performing an import will push all this content into the online mailbox. IMAP4 has additional folders that can be created, and the transporter will pick up these additional folders, create them in the online mailbox, and migrate the content into the corresponding folders.

Question: Does a customer need access to their Hosting Partner's data center? Can the customer migrate from Hosted Exchange without the help of the hosting partner? Answer: Customers can migrate their mailboxes without needing any assistance or permission from the hoster. However, they cannot migrate their user accounts and passwords on their own, nor will they be able to run DirSync. In this situation, the recommended workflow is as follows: Bulk-create new users accounts on BPOS. Enable those accounts. Use the Migration Tools to vacuum the mailboxes out of the Hoster's environment and into BPOS.

    85. Why Microsoft Online Is Unique INSTRUCTOR NOTES Now that you have a better picture of the potential benefits of “going online,” let’s look at why you would choose to go with Microsoft rather than another online service. We believe it comes down to three main points: Richest Software With the Business Productivity Online Suite, your users still get the full functionality of the Office applications to which they are accustomed. They get the great rich-client experience of Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint, with the server integration you have come to expect – SharePoint libraries synchronized with Outlook, full-fidelity document editing clients launched from within SharePoint sites, and so on. And you get the rich functionality of SharePoint – including portal, content management, and collaboration capabilities. You can drive down cost by enabling Web conferencing instead of traveling to meetings. And the integration across services – between Exchange Online and Office Communications Online, Office Communications Online and SharePoint Online, enables unique communication and collaboration capabilities. Choice & Flexibility Microsoft’s software-plus-services approach is unique in the industry. We recognize the power of flexibility – it enables you to determine the best fit for your business, and match the solution to your requirements, whether they are simple or complex. We’ve designed from the ground up for coexistence, so you can decide to take just some of your users “to the cloud” and still maintain communication and collaboration capability with the on-premises deployments of Exchange and SharePoint. As your business grows and changes, as your priorities shift and the external realities change, you may decide to revisit your decision – maybe it makes sense to move a different division to an online deployment, or gradually increase the number of users you deploy online. These shifts are easy to deal with under the software-plus-services model. And of course, you get to choose your client: Web or desktop? Enterprise Capabilities Microsoft is not new to business software, nor to online services. We’ve built the Microsoft Online Services on proven infrastructure, using the valuable lessons we’ve learned in operating our own Web site, Hotmail, LiveMeeting, and Exchange Hosted Services for many years. We combine that knowledge with our background in understanding the needs of enterprise customers to create services that meet the special needs of business customers. For example, we know that enterprise customers require enterprise-class dedicated support. 24x7. And we integrate those services with your existing on-premises infrastructure, like Active Directory – rather than asking you to create parallel directories in the cloud or duplicate processes you already have mastered on-premises.

    86. Process Benefits INSTRUCTOR NOTES Consider what it costs to implement the right IT processes around your infrastructure, from initial roll-out of the software to the ongoing maintenance and high availability. Security Purchasing and operating all the physical and logical security measures that are an integral part of any software deployment can be complex, consume a great deal of IT people resources, be costly. Often those complexities rise as you consider making collaboration servers externally available. With online services, you have less need for security countermeasures – both software and physical. And you may be able to reduce the need for VPN software for external access to your communication and collaboration applications. Availability Microsoft offers financially backed service level agreements for its services – a commitment to 99.9% uptime that we are able to make because we have geo-redundant data centers (so your data is always backed up to another data center in a different physical location), and an N+1 architecture that ensures redundancy of every component from disk drives to network connections to power sources. Our operational standards are also foundational to our ability to offer this financial commitment. Operational Standards Our operations are guided by ITIL/Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) standards. We are CyberTrust certified and pursuing SAS-70 certification as well. Consider what it would cost to implement this level of security, availability, and operational excellence in an on-premises deployment of communication and collaboration capabilities. Not only that, consider what it would cost you to NOT do so: can your business tolerate an e-mail outage? It’s not just the downtime – both for IT and for the end user – when an outage occurs, but also the impact to your business’ reputation when those outages are seen externally. If you cannot send or receive e-mail to and from your business partners or customers, what will that do to their confidence in you?
