Exercise 1: Perform a cutover migration to Exchange Online

Scenario

If Coralie Emond is feeling under pressure, she�s trying hard not to let it show. Because Coralie is the Exchange guru at Lucerne Publishing, Heidi has decided that she should perform the Office 365 cutover migration, supported by Alain Richer. Coralie will also need to configure DNS domains with Office 365. 

To carry out this process, she needs an administrator account on-premises and a global administrator account on Office 365. She also needs to access the on-premises DNS console and be able to reconfigure mail exchanger, canonical name and address records. 

When she has completed the cutover migration, Coralie must configure DNS records for the Office 365 services and verify that those records are accessible. 

The main tasks for this exercise are as follows:

1.     Connect an Online Account to on-Premises Exchange Account

2.     Add a Custom Domain to Office 365

3.     Add a Subdomain to Office 365 and Change the Default Domain

4.     Appoint a Migration Administrator

5.     Create a Migration Endpoint in Office 365

6.     Change User Principal Names to Ensure Migration

7.     Perform the Batch Migration

8.     Clean Up the Batch Migration
