Microsoft TechEd 2008, Day 4, 11:30

My first session for today was on Co-existence and Migration with Exchange Online.

Most of the session was about provisioning new users and migration from local Exchange. As far as Domino migration goes, there are 3 main strategies:

1) Use IMAP, and only migrate mail - no calendars or contacts

2) Migrate from Domino to Exchange locally first (on a staging server), then migrate up to Online. The speaker cited a US company that did this with 1,000 users in one weekend. Friday night they did the migration from Domino to Exchange, then on the Saturday pushed them up to Online. On the Monday, the majority of users used Outlook Web Access while they did client deployments.

3) Partner with a 3rd party vendor. Apparently, our good friends at Quest are about to release a toolset to migrate from Domino directly to Exchange online.
