 @wrx7m said: @scottalanmiller So you would basically add a 3rd party archiving service? You can, but I thought Dustin linked to something that MS offered in this same vein.

 @Dashrender Litigation hold is usually for certain users at a time and not retroactive if something has already been removed. Kind of like half-way archiving.

 Thanks to everyone for participating. Anything else that should be considered?

 Based on your mentioned query, I would recommend you to follow Exchange server deployment assistant that is available from Microsoft team and covers all required aspects by checking the necessary prerequisites : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dn756393.aspx Here is another informative technet article which provides step-wise details to accomplish this task in flawless manner. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj874016(v=exchg.150).aspx

 @scottalanmiller What I have seen is people losing data for a day or two but not everything. Office 365 recovery or restore for Exchange or Sharepoint is an all or nothing approach. The restore cannot be granular and that's why I enable Recycle bin on Sharepoint.

 @wrx7m How did your migration go? Have you done any more? Just curious what tools (if any) you used...... I'm about to start a migration and need to decide if I am going to do it as a pst import, or a migration from on premise exchange to cloud, and if so, do I use the built-in migration tool at admin.exchange.microsoft.com or a third party tool. I am interested in what you did and what the pros and cons were. Thanks!
