Moving to GSuite

[ITGURU]

I never understand how SLT make decisions like this in schools,. They should be coming to you as IT staff and consulting you. When i started in the Job we have 100 Dell Celeron laptops turn up on a 5 years lease with no input, they just arrived in the office. Then they wondered why we had so many issues, including having to get a Dell engineer out as the wireless cards didn't work properly!

If your the IT Lead you should get some Input as your the technical one! They should be doing what you think is best for the school as they don't understand/know the implications/changes required.

Good Luck !

Same case here as well, recently they have ordered Celeron laptops ( two different models ). Prior to ordering, I did asked them to send me spec so we can advice but nothing from them.

 

I still don’t understand that we are moving to GSuite and still buying laptops instead of chromebooks.

 

This is so frustrating!

Dear all

 

Mx record point to Gmail and everything is going into gmail mailboxes. I have also added the exchange 2016 server as a host in google workplace and created routing rules.

 

Dual delivery is working fine, users are receiving emails in Gmail inbox and exchange as well.

 

I can send an email to external recipient using MS exchange/outlook.

 

But when I try to send an email from exchange/outlook to internal address, end user only receiving on exchange.

 

If user login to Gmail don’t get that email. How do I configure exchange to get delivery on Gmail as well.

 

Thanks

you need to setup forwading on the exchange box

i used a powershell script to do it i just set it up for staff..

 

$csv = Import-Csv c:\temp\users.csv

foreach ($line in $csv) {

Set-Mailbox -Identity $line.Alias -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $true -ForwardingSMTPAddress $line.Email

}

here is the first 2 lines from the csv

Alias,Email

Are you using any smarthost on your exchange box ?

[k-strider]

all our mail was delivered via a postfix server but as its being forwaded to a different domain (our/your test google domain) it should just forward it i would have thought.

Hi

 

To setup forwarding on exchange, I need to create a mail contact first right?

 

Thanks

No we haven’t done any full impact assessment. One SLt and head decided that we are moving to GSuite completely. Some reason they don’t like MS products, and also we are moving Bcs in their previous school they have had used Gsuite.

 

I don't often bite at such things.. but this is a prime example of why IT fails in schools and suffer ransomware. Someone high up has made a drastic stupid decision without the prep work? I even used those two words in a governor meeting when it got mentioned.

 

We are seriously considering a migration to O365 for email and staff share MAYBE one day the staff/student drives.

 

Now, I have already started a list of pros/cons and this will go to those above. Sorry I have not read through the replies but I do believe there are companies that can provide an AD sync (if you don't have it) and help migrate everything over.

 

If this is to be, I would do it through someone because there are all sorts to consider. I've not been through all the settings of G Suite but it is pages and pages.

 

Edu hobnobs need to be sent your way.
