Exchange to Google

[jmair]

Our teachers are moving to Google Classroom and we have teachers and staff logging into google with our domain. Our MX records do still point to my Exchange server but at some point I would like to migrate all of us over to Google. Do I just point my MX records over and somehow it magically works? I feel like I'm missing a lot of info here and I'm not sure where to find it. Have any of you done this, what steps am I missing?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi jesse,

Your MX Record points to the External IP address of your exchange,

You will need to change those same MX Records to Googles Web servers when you are ready to migrate,

And that's it? No other magic huh? I'm not complaining, but I hope this doesn't become so simple our jobs become obsolete. Thanks again!
