Its still a yearly commitment to the licenses whether you pay for them montly or yearly. The only differnce is when it takes the money (monthly/year payment)

To confirm a few things from experience of doing this. RM Unify does not sync passwords to Office 365, if you remove federation, you will need to assign people passwords until you link up AD Connect. There is something called Soft Match and Hard Match when adding AD Connect. Soft Match is based on the UPN which has to be exact between AD and Office 365. You might decide to match based on the mail attribute in local AD to Azure AD UPN so you can keep the UPN the local domain name and save a little hassle. For hard match, there is a ID that is placed on the user that matches the source it is coming from (the sync source). RM Unify will have a different ID for the user as AD will. in Azure AD this attribute is the ImmutableId. For a hard match, clear this attribute after you have turned dirsync services off in Azure AD, then add the objectid of the Azure AD user to the matching user you want. The objectid need converting to Base64 code. Hard match will give you a higher chance of a success rate of a match . YOu can script all this ready to run and do it as an over night process. oh and don't forget to turn password sync on when installing AD Connect

Keep the location requests coming in so we can plan and see where the demand is - we want to do all over the country but knowing where demand is really helps us.

Any strange characters in the name? Do you have *.sharepoint.com as a trusted site in IE?

Its by design - the license is assigned by the account that is logged into office so it assumes that you want Outlook configured for that account too.

Can only speak from the single account i have but never had a problem and they are adding lots of features. The porting of the number was my biggest worry but if you have everything setup correctly, Microsoft move the number at the time they state and calls just started coming to the new location

Bump. Please help out and fill out the survey if you are using Office 365 Education

SharePoint app, Sites in OneDrive and the SharePoint tile show you sites you "follow", you'll notice it in the top right in sharepoint sites. the ideas being you only follow the important sites rather than all of them and is a customised site just for you. There are some products and features out that to help with image navigation so you have a landing page that you can then navigate to each of these and some people like to remove the sharepoint tile to save confusion.

i've just joined

got a really bad cough but i think theres something wrong ;-)

good point - i guess its angled at those who are just using it rather than those who aren't :-) Thanks for the support though

Hi Everyone. I've put together a survey to try and get a bit of a landscape of what the Office 365 Education usage is like across the world. 25 questions and all multiple choice (except one where you don't have to type anything if you don't want to) with a few about your establishment and then about your usage. It's 100% independent and the full results will be made public so everyone can benefit. So if you could take a few minutes out of your day to help me out and everyone else that would be great. http://bit.ly/edusurvey2018 I will most likely bump this a few times as the survey doesn't close until the end of the month. I'll make sure the results are posted here too. Thanks for the help

We use a third party too from MigrationWiz costs about $100. However you also need to make sure you remove the old folders (or at least the mail email address) from on prem otherwise mail is still sent there. The other option is to move the MX record to Office 365 so the mail is delivered to those public folders first.

Have you tried promoting the DL to an Office 365 Group? Kind regards A.

has the certificate run out?

Is your old domain name still in there? theres a process to get access again by creating a TXT record

This is the reason to run Office 365 and G-Suite. You only need to deliver Office 365 Pro Plus through Office 365 and dont need all the other features. This will come in more when licensing changes with Microsoft 365 Education the new EES 2017 licensing. A.

Let me go back and ask about the minecraft question - i understand what you are saying with your point but this is just for minecraft not anything else - - - Updated - - - you agreement will stay in place - you have take a three year agreement, its after that you will get the benefits of microsoft 365 edu. A.

You will be able to renewal based on the old agreement for 1 more year however after that you will need to do EES 2017. Personally and being a Microsoft cloud guy, the licensing change is really good for education.

I should also add that the number of licenses you buy for staff will give student licenses. for example, for every Microsoft 365 A3 license you buy for faculty, you get 40 students.

Hi, I've done a bit of a intro blog post to what the new licensing is. Its technically called Microsoft 365 Educaiton rather than Windows but it just shows more suppliers dont know what they are talking about. Introducing Microsoft 365 Education – Blog: Alex Pearce (Office 365 MVP) You are now licensing staff (not pupils) based on their use of a computer. If they use a computer they will need a Microsoft 365 A3 license where as if they are ground staff and just use a mobile device, they will only need to have an Office 365 A1 license. Happy to chat about this on the phone as its hard to explain in so short few words but keep an eye out for more info soon as I've put together some comparisons and will soon be writing a "Which licenses do I need" piece
