Office365 Domains
-
We have an Office365 account set up. We are either Business Essentials (for just e-mail) or Business Premium (for e-mail and apps).
The main domain is domain.onmicrosoft.com We can log into that fine.
We also have domain.com set up.
I am currently the only user on the system, but want to start adding other shortly for various reasons, and eventually want to move the whole company over for e-mail and apps.
Right now, my e-mail goes to our on-premises MDaemon server, which forwards it to [email protected]
When I decide I want to move everyone over, will there (should there) be any issues with making a total jump to Office365?
-
I'm not sure where the question is.

The process we went through was from local onsite exchange to office365. So i'm not sure I can help here. . .
I would imagine you'll have some issue as you migrate from mdaemon to o365.

That is the question he doesn't even know what to ask.

@BRRABill what do you mean by it forward the mail
-
@BRRABill have you sent your domain.com to be the primary replying in office 365 and if you send an email from Office 365 Admin come at domain.com
-
@BRRABill have you actually migrated any mail from your first service to office 365

So the MX record for the domain still points to our internal e-mail server.
Any mail that comes to me gets forwarded to [email protected]

Yes

Yes, migrated over fine.
I think at one point someone here on ML said I would have an issue fully moving over. I don't perceive one, but just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything.
I am assuming I can slowly migrate people over as I have done myself, and then once we are all on O365, just point our MX record there.

Sounds like a workable plan.

Question #2 is:
Does anyone have a chart of the Business Essentials plans vs the E plans?
I just want to be sure that things like legal hold and stuff are available. It's impossible to find on their site.

We migrated everybody as we wanted. We had to create 2 bridges from our Exchange server, one for each direction. Then we had to make the O365 server the master exchange server before we could migrate. Once done with all of the migrations, we shutdown the on premise exchange server and haven't turned it back on.
As far as legal stuff, I'm not understanding. Do you mean litigation hold?
-
@BRRABill Once you make the MX record change, make sure you keep MDaemon up for a bit until you're sure the MX change has propagated and MDaemon is no longer receiving traffic.
We migrated from MDaemon to Exchange Online a couple of years ago. It was a pretty smooth process -- especially using the IMAP migration for preserving mailbox contents.

eDiscovery & Litigation hold is a function of the Enterprise plans.
The sight is quite simple to read. They did remove the super easy table comparison with check boxes though.

As you note you can move slowly from local to Office 365. Just make sure that the attributes don't change internally otherwise any communications from internal to the users in office 365 will be having problems. Enterprise plans as noted by Jared are the ones with archiving and legalhold. you can also make the domain.com as the default login for the users, they still will get emails on the on.microsoft.com email address.
