Closed Caption:

okay so on the six Apple we're going to
be doing
is conferring he my created Exchange
2003 mailbox
to what's called a male enable user and
that is basically just
a contact with an Active Directory that
has a target address to your
office 365 subscription so the first
thing that we wanted to hear
is take a look at the database and
see what the limits are basically see
how long we're going to keep
deleted mailbox now generally for
testing purposes or just make sure you
don't leave
lose any data what you wanted to hear
make sure that this is populated to a
decent amount of time so you can get
them help box back
if something it does go wrong which
usually doesn't but it's always
better make sure so in this case we're
gonna keep the lead in mailboxes for 30
days
so here some mail boxes that have been
moved
so in order to convert it to a male
enable user
what we're going to do years go to the
user
and go to exchange tasks and we're going
to delete the mailbox
and yes and finish
and we are now done so if I come here
the cleanup agents will see that test
two
now has a red X on which means it's
marked for deletion
so the next thing I want to do is go to
test to hear
and i wanna run exchange tasks again
and this time when I want to do is
establishing email address
so I sing next test two still the alias
given an SMTP address sure it's gonna be
test to its TS
is dot on Microsoft dot com
now you wanna make sure it's the on
microsoft.com address because
that is the target address that that is
the original target address
for this mailbox during stage migration
so I supply
okay next finish now if I want to verify
that the target for a sec correctly
I can bring up ltp here and
I can simply say take a look test two
you can see
targeted rest is set to test two TS
based on Microsoft account
so what happens now is anyone who still
hasn't been moved
and lives on ZYX change 2003 server when
they go to send mail to test two
it actually can attest to at DSP stop
Mike shot a calm and sense this on my
shot a comma dresses
external that mail will be forwarded to
test two
in the cloud all right thank you
