Setup AD Connect

[itgeek]

Hi

 

Currently we have two separate domain one fro staff and one for students. We are going to create new account on our staff domain for student then delete the old students domain. When I setup the student ad sync it worked fine, however when I have tried to setup the new AD connect on the staff domain it looks like I am going to have to changed all the UPN because of a non-routable domain. I have a few questions if anybody can answer them:

 

If I start to sync certain OU from AD to Office365 will the staff accounts that are active and manually created still be there?

Is it possible to stop students email some of our existing groups in office365 (I dont want them email all staff group for example?)

Any other restrictions we should stop students from doing in office365?

Once the users are in the cloud I am going to setup Microsoft Sync to sims, anybody done this yet and have they used the free salamanda tool or just the Microsoft tool (I am not sure what salamanda gives you over the Microsoft School data sync?)

 

 

 

Thanks

You will need to add the upn to the new domain.

 

You can create mail flow rules to prevent students emailing groups yes. You may also want to prevent their creation.

 

I use salamander for all of ad management including sims integration. They are absolutely first class.
