Today’s Agenda Proper planning is the key to success

Understanding critical key components Setting Expectations

Impacts of AD FS Changes to UPN’s New Features included in ADFS Rollup 1

Server Deployment Scenarios Different strokes for different folks

Exchange Federation It can be tricky, watch your step!

PowerShell is your Friend! Automating tasks

Planning What costs $1 now, costs $10 in a week and $1,000 in a

month! Take the time to plan upfront, some key decision points are

Who is responsible for each various task Upgrading Workstations with supported versions of Office Who takes support calls during the migration

How is information shared Set regular meetings with the various leads for each task

Pilot, Pilot, Pilot! Pick 100 or less users ranging from power users to n00bs

Impacts of AD FS UPN – User Principal Name

This UPN must be a publicly routable namespace Domain.local will not work

This doesn’t require a redesign or renaming of your domain! Adding alternative UPN’s is a simple process Automating the update of users UPN is scriptable

Other SSO applications such as Oracle can require modifications/updates so plan carefully.

Server Deployment Scenarios Different requirements for different scenarios

Exchange 2003 on-premises requires additional Hybrid Server roles Mailbox role must be installed Free/Busy must be migrated Exchange PF references must be updated Child domain causes lookup failures from 2003 to cloud, patch

available Hybrid server can be Hybrid serverS

CAS server configuration must match When deploying with 2003 servers the free/busy replica can only reside

on one 2010 public folder instance

Exchange Federation This is the most critical (and difficult) phase, take your time

The Exchange Deployment Assistant is an excellent resource, use it!!

Test each step as you go through, don’t move forward until it works 100% as expected

Watch the section about creating the Organizational relationships, there are pieces missing! User PowerShell to remotely configure the TargetSharingEPR in the

Cloud Organizational Relationship

Keep an eye/ear out for Exchange 2010 SP2, one of its main goals is to reduce the complexity of configuring exchange federation, via introduction of the hybrid configuration wizard

PowerShell Microsoft unlocks a large number of Exchange CmdLets for

use with Office 365 Tasks can require various modules within PowerShell

MSOL commands require the MSOnline Module Set-ImmutableID requires the PSSnapin

Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010 PowerShell makes repetitive tasks easy

Batch migration scripts run from Windows PowerShell 2.0
