I suppose a solution to this could be setup a VM as a jump box, put it behind reverse proxy and NAT, and lock it down as much as you can (SSH keys, etc.). From that jump box, access your servers. I do something similar with my colo lab server, except I just have Zero Tier on said VM, and connect to it via SSH over Zero Tier.

The above won't solve the problem of somehow having out-of-band management capability / console access, which you could have with IPMI.

Yes plenty of ways to do this the 'right way' but the I.T. company I was talking to doesn't get the risk of doing it the wrong way.

I was just running it by folks here to see if I was way off base by thinking they are nuts for making it public without any extra security.

For my colo lab the thought of doing it the "wrong way" crossed my mind, but after a few moments of thinking it through (and trying to treat my colo lab server as much like a production system as I could), I came to the same conclusions as everyone else about it being a bad idea.

Get-MessageTrace can give you 5 minutes - 10 days of results. Otherwise, you have to use the GUI in the Exchange Admin Center in Office 365. I think you can do traces up to 3 months back. You submit the trace request and get results in a few hours to a day.
