Office 365 migration questions

[ful56_uk]

Morning All,

 

We are all signed up with 365 for a while now. We have adfs setup and working too.

 

We currently have setup a hybrid setup on our local exchange server which is 2010.

 

We want to start looking at moving all of our mailboxes over to 365 so they can use onedrive and email. We will not licence them for lync,

 

I have a couple questions.

 

1, Is there anything anyone would recommend that we turn off/disable feature before we move users over?

2, After the migration has been completed, is it a case of uninstall exchange?

3, is there anything anyone recommend us doing in terms of management of 365

 

Many thanks

Have a search, plenty of threads regarding deployment etc.

I think the issue you might have when using Dirsync atleast, is that uninstalling Exchange will remove the extra attributes in AD (related to proxyaddresses etc).

I've seen the bit about group creation but I only could seem to do it for all
