Guest Accounts not receiving email notifications In truth, this blog could have been called anything. Probably the Guest Account dilemma, but I have used that kind of title a few times now, none the less – it is a dilemma. This is a blog I have been wanting to write for ages, because it has […]

When is the right time to cut over your DNS MX record in a migration?
When is the right time to cut over your MX in a Migration? This is a question that is often posed to us, particularly when migrating from Lotus Notes and Domino to Office 365
Merging Two Office 365 Mailboxes
There are many reasons why you may want to do this but probably the most likely is the “Leaver” scenario. A common way of dealing with leavers is to simply convert their Mailbox to a Shared Mailbox and then terminate the user account. (Sometimes, but not very often these days, it is exported to a […]
New Application Guard Window in the Edge Browser
Every now and then you receive an email with a URL in it that makes you pause and think. Maybe it’s from a colleague or a friend, and almost looks legit, but something is telling you it might not be. Maybe you are doing your own research on a subject matter that may lead you […]
Technical Limitations of Migrating IBM Domino Rooms to Exchange
Recently we observed an issue with Domino Rooms that we migrated to Exchange/Office 365. In short, appointments contained within cannot be cancelled or re-scheduled and always remain as zombie reservations (unless manually cleaned up). Coexistence This is addition to coexistence issues experienced with Rooms. You have to set Microsoft Rich Text to disabled for the […]
Paying it forward…
Paying it forward… Well, not really, just plain old IT email forwarding. We all (Messaging Admins) have used forwarding extensively, but it struck me that there are several ways to achieve the same thing. Most often the forwarding scenario comes up during the following scenarios: Coexistence (mergers / acquisitions / divestitures) Upgrades (migrating to a […]
The Groups Dilemma – post migration
Today a client that we had previously migrated off Lotus Notes asked us about applying Groups to their Shared Mailboxes in Office 365 but ensuring that the Shared Mailbox Owners had the ability modify those Groups to provide access. This blog very much goes hand in hand with this blog I wrote on Shared Mailboxes, […]
NeroBlanco Lotus Notes to O365 MaaS
We’re often asked why our Migration as a service offering is more advantageous than any on-premises solution an organisation could wish to deploy. Typically if a company has decided to host their email in the Microsoft cloud they have already familiarised & accepted all the certifications which Microsoft abides by in their services, like […]

Additional Mailboxes in Office 365 – More delegation woes
As at today we have an interesting problem and an open ticket with Microsoft Office 365 that is being escalated to Product Support. The scenario is pretty straightforward. Sharing a Mailbox via Full Access (no automapping) + Send on Behalf of Rights and attaching it in Outlook as a “New Account” (NOT as an additional Mailbox) […]
Outlook Personal Mailbox Delegation Wizard – The ins and outs
Unexpected Results of User Initiated Outlook Delegation Without getting too much into it, all Exchange Administrators have had to deal with this scenario at some stage or another. In my opinion Microsoft still have not address this very well for enterprise or even small customers. The whole end user experience is misleading, it creates the […]
