Matters to note before registering to use Office 365

If you're planning to move to Office 365 can maximize the power of cloud platform on an office application then you need to keep in mind some point before the registration of official services .





 Conversion is not a simple process


 If you have an Active Directory environment as a premise and want to make the conversion process, this is not easy. Exchange Server 2010 SP2 brings you a wizard to reduce the number of steps from 50 to 6, but the conversion process is still tedious and requires a lot of advanced planning. So, for those who are beginning to enter the world's best Office 365 is familiar from the outset rather than having to focus the work hard to move.
 Starting from scratch with spam filters


 One of the biggest things become difficult issues with Office 365 users are spam filters.Before registering Office 365, you can use its own spam filters to help protect against spam very well, but with Office 365, you will see Microsoft Forefront Online Protection features offered by Microsoft Exchange application. Although Forefront is a pretty good spam filter, but you need to take the time to reconfigure it.


 Domain name email address can send changes
 

 When you register with the Office 365, all user accounts will be equipped with email addresses ending onmicrosoft.com default. Although you can use the address of their own domain name configured by the domain name when sending messages to proceed, the domain name you use will remain as is unless you make onmicrosoft.comsome configuration changes (rather complex).


You can say goodbye to the 3rd party utilities


 Many organizations use 3rd party utility to manage Exchange Server. If you are using any such gadgets and designed to install directly on the Exchange Server. You can not use them with the Microsoft Office 365 does not allow you to install the software on the host of Office 365.


 May have DNS problems
 

 When you add a domain to Office 365 account, you'll get a list of items that you have to do with DNS domain name so that it can operate correctly. Although most of the DNS entry is relatively simple, but requires Lync some SRV records are created. This is not a problem for people with Microsoft's DNS servers but is a major problem with the DNS server is not Microsoft.


 May have to use different management tools



 Management transactions (Exchange) via Exchange Management Console is no longer an obvious choice when the Office 365 Exchange Control Panel to use as the main management tools for Exchange Server. Similarly, user accounts are created through a proprietary interface rather than through the interface Active Directory Users And Computers.


Need to reset the server access file


 Make sure you have a plan for servers to store data files before you shut down your domain controller. The data files should be stored in a NAS device, but it is not an ideal solution for all users. In any case, just remember that you probably will not use Active Directory accounts to manage access to their files.


 Unable to connect instantly with other mobile devices


 One of the problems users interested in Office 365 is the ability to put up your mailbox quickly online, content conversion process. However, if you immediately connect your phone to the new Exchange mailbox, contacts, calendar or phone message history will immediately disappear.

 



Therefore, you need to create a PST file on the computer and move all the emails, contacts and calendar items in PST file. Once done, disconnect your computer to the phone and conducting phone connection with a new mailbox on the Office 365. You then connect your phone to your computer, copy all the data from PST files into a new mailbox, you can now connect your phone to the mailbox without having to worry about losing access go to contacts and other data.


 Losing control


 Finally, once you have decided to move to Office 365 means you have to give up some degree of control over certain. For example, you will not have any control over the process of patch management, software upgrades and perform similar administrative tasks that you may be used to implement the system before .
