This is a link throw-down for the items that we discussed during a recent Office 365 workshop that I delivered to customers in sunny/snowy/windy/rainy St. John’s Newfoundland. Yes it was all four seasons in one week, but that seems to be par for the course! St. John's was great (as always), and it is a place I love to visit. With rain, it reminds me of back home! This is the view I enjoyed when having breakfast this week. Life is good!
I’m posting the links here since they will be available to all of the attendees, and thought that others may also find them useful/interesting. This post is brought to you by the Maple Leaf lounge at the airport as I wait for my plane.
Office 365 Public Roadmap
http://roadmap.office.com/en-us
Cross Premises Shared Mailbox Support
Planning an Exchange hybrid deployment. This page has the support statement that shared mailboxes and mailboxes accessing them must reside in the same premises.
-
Mailbox permissions On-premises mailbox permissions such as Send As, Receive As, and Full Access that are explicitly applied on the mailbox are migrated to Exchange Online if the tenant in Exchange Online has been fully synchronized using Dirsync or AAD Sync. Inherited (non-explicit) mailbox permissions such as permissions applied to the mailbox database and any permissions on non-mailbox objects (such as distribution lists or a mail-enabled user) are not migrated. Therefore, you should recreate these permissions in Exchange Online using the Add-MailboxPermission or Add-RecipientPermission cmdlets.
-
Cross-premises permissions Mailbox permissions such as Send As, Receive As, and Full Access are not supported if the user trying to access the mailbox is in Exchange Online but the target mailbox is on-premises, or vice versa. Typically, when migrating a user mailbox from on-premises to Exchange Online, in order to overcome this limitation, mailboxes belonging to users who have access to the first mailbox should also be migrated at the same time to ensure the delegate scenarios continue to work.
