As Microsoft (for years!) have been guiding everyone away from the use of Public folders, can anyone please recommend any ideas to replace the way that we use Public Folders? We have a script that adds 3x mail enabled public folders to Outlook for all staff members. These are used for "Urgent Staff Notices", "Heads Notices" and "Daily Bulletins" These are available there and then to everyone from within Outlook at a quick glance as they are always there at the top left in Outlook. We didn't want staff to have to load any additional webpages or log into any other system, we just wanted them there straight away without any additional work at a glance! Does anyone please have an alternative suggestion please? We are currently a hybrid setup and I would rather avoid the Microsoft exchange/O365 hybrid PS1/CSV PF solution! Thanks in advance

I'm going nuts.. Did I dream that Teams had a whiteboard mode for the webcam that understood what a whiteboard was and would magically erase the person that was using it?

We are currently trying to setup Exchange Hybrid Mode on Exchange 2013. We have had 6 weeks of calls with Microsoft on this and are no further forward. Essentially when we run the Exchange Hybrid Configuration Wizard it always fails at the last step saying MRS Proxy Failed. We have 2 Exchange Servers both on the latest build of 2013. Both have MRS Proxy enabled on both servers. 1 server is on our internal network and hosts the mailboxes and the other is in the DMZ and is used for Client Access. We get the same error when running the wizard on both servers. Microsoft are wanting to put our internal exchange server directly in the cloud with an external IP address so both Inbound and Outbound traffic can flow to it. We tried to explain we have another exchange in the DMZ but we were not getting anywhere. This has obviously set some alarm bells ringing. Has anyone had any experience of this and is what Microsoft is asking correct or could point us in the right direction. Any help would be most welcome.

Good morning everyone, I would like to manage offsite Windows devices. I currently have a single forest On-Prem AD synced to 365 for passwords. I have been looking at Hybird Azure setup to enroll the devices but I'm not sure how I would manage my devices remotely. Is there a way to still use Group Policy or do I need to also use an MDM such as Intune?

I want migrated email accounts (cloud accounts) to be able to email local accounts (still here on my exchange), I've opened up port 25 to the Microsoft smtp servers but the emails are still not getting through. is there a simple rule I can give SWGFL? I can't just put ALL (webIP's) to port 25 of my 2013 exchange box public ip. The list of allowed ip ranges I got from the Microsoft website are as follows: 13.107.6.152/31 13.107.9.152/31 13.107.18.10/31 13.107.19.10/31 23.103.160.0/20 23.103.224.0/19 40.96.0.0/13 40.104.0.0/15 70.37.151.128/25 111.221.112.0/21 131.253.33.215/32 132.245.0.0/16 134.170.68.0/23 157.56.96.16/28 157.56.96.224/28 157.56.106.128/28 157.56.232.0/21 157.56.240.0/20 191.232.96.0/19 191.234.6.152/32 191.234.140.0/22 191.234.224.0/22 204.79.197.215/32 206.191.224.0/19 207.46.150.128/25 207.46.203.128/26

Hello all, I'm certain that all the information is out there somewhere, but to be completely honest I'm struggling to find where it is - so I wonder if anyone else has done something similar? I currently have Exchange 2010 on site and am considering a Hybrid deployment with Office365. This is what I want to do: - Different domain name and GAL for staff and students - From what I've read I believe that I'll need two different tenancies to do this - is that correct? (And how would that affect DirSync?) - Use DirSync to sync usernames and passwords (I've looked at ADFS and at present I don't have the spare capacity to provide all the additional boxes that it requires) - Keep some staff mailboxes locally (but use an online archive mailbox to help to eliminate PST usage locally!) So... if anyone has done this, or something similar I'd be very glad to hear from you. Thanks!

Hi, We're in need of a low-budget tablet that runs on full Windows operating system as we have a new assessment system in school - Target Tracker. We need the tablets to be on hand to update assessments using the target tracker software. Does this tablet run as a normal PC albeit with slower functionality?! We simply need them to run this software and nothing else. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey Guy, Does anyone else using Intune (Hybrid or otherwise) have an issue joining a device? We seem to get as far as installing the enrolment profile but it seems to have on "Getting your device managed" and the fails with "Couldn't add you device" with no real error or log (that I can find) to help resolve. I have contacted MS Intune support but are not very helpful or swift in their responses =(

I think this is a left over from when we had a hybrid exchange setup. I think this should have been deleted, any reason I shouldn't get rid of it?

I was thinking of loosing the exchange 2013 server we have that is only used for hybrid with o365. I haven't even used it in weeks. I was looking into going full cloud but I've been reading that this may not be supported whilst using the azure ad connect tool. I was really looking to dump a not used VM and not buying it a new MX cert next year. The only thing I can think I'd loose is the GAL.
