PLANS


Issues

• P – SharePoint Foundation• E – SharePoint Server• Q: Can I switch between Office 365 plan

families (Plans P1 and E)?You cannot migrate between a Plan P account and a Plan E account. In order to move between the two plans you would need to cancel your account and then sign up for a different one.

• You can’t have the same site name after the cancelation without a request to support.


Domain configuration


Domain configuration

• P – domains are managed by Office 365• E – domains are managed by your registrar, MS

provides configuration settings• You specify which services are associated with the

domain• Accounts are associated with domain:

[email protected]• Other services (Exchange, Lync) provide

configuration settings that should be set on your registrar
