Making the decision to do an Office 365 migration is a good move, the services available to you and your organisation will make it worth the effort.
An Office 365 migration process is not something that your company will have to do again (hopefully) and it’s important that you plan the project in advance so that you reduce risk. This is best achieved by starting with a simple site audit.
Auditing your existing environment is quick and easy. Login to your existing email admin panel and retrieve the following for each mailbox:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Display Name
- User Name
- Password ( this will be hashed, so you will need to rely on your documentation, or worst case you can reset it )
- Email Address
Gather information about your domain, DNS and your existing email server.
This is what you will need:
- Domain Name Control Panel authentication details
- DNS Control authentication details
- Existing Email Server address
