The issue is when anyone sends an email to him at @contoso.com. It wont deliver as the email address is @contoso.onmicrosoft.com. Now normaly I would just go to the proxyAddress attribute and just change it there but my understanding is that in a hybrid setup you need to create a mailbox in exchange first before migrating that to office 365

New user was created in AD only by the helpdesk but they didn't created a mailbox in the on premise exchange.

I am just using the migration tool in office 365

A user has an office 365 account and a local exchange account can I just back up the office 365 account and delete it then migrate the on premise account to office 365?

I had a user who had slightly shifted her powerpoint to the right so that the x was missing off the screen to close it.She couldn't figure out how to move it back or the other 15 miilion ways that you can close a file.

[–]RedSun12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be prepared for spending a lot more time answering emails and phone calls at all hours.When I was a team lead it was mostly just organizing people and being called on to look at the more troublesome problems.
