The BEST reason to keep a Hybrid Exchange Server
We are often asked about should I have a Hybrid Server (be that for administration only or for full Hybrid) and so last year we blogged TEN good reasons to keep a Hybrid Exchange Server.

Outlook “Quick Wins”
Often in the world of Notes to Exchange migrations we run into resistance at all levels at the organisation, but never more so than the incumbent Messaging Admins themselves. The best way around this is sell this as a new skill to learn at the opportunity to become dual skilled at two Messaging Platforms. If […]

Exchange has no item level security model, only mailbox and folder level. So what does this mean? This means that unless you can force people to only access […]

AD Objects AD objects (or more correctly Object Classes) include users, groups, computers, service connection points, OUs, etc. They are the type of things about which we want to store information. An instance of an AD object class is an […]

However when it comes time to do the migration the Prepare-MoveRequest.ps1 it will convert the MailContact into a MailUser and ensure it has the mailboxGUID and other attributes […]
