Cross-Tenant Migration Legal-Hold or Encrypted Mail or File Data

-

 This is a quick note and IMPORTNANT:


Within a Cross-Tenant Migration project, you can experience data encryption. Note the following statement and plan accordingly.


Legal-Hold:

There is no possibility to migrate data (EXO, SPO, OneDrive) if the source is set on legal-hold


Encrypted Data:

It depends on the encryption method. Either AIP or user based.
If it user based user@dnsdomain.com, the migration can work and with the resignment of the user@dnsdomain.com the encryption/decryption might work again. But while the DNS domain is with the source tenant, encrypted mails become unusable.

With AIP, the only way is to decrypt in source, than migrate and encrypt in target again.
Migrating a tenant AIP key is NOT possible

How to hide and un-hide users from Global Address List (GAL) in Exchange Online if they are AD Connect synchronized Hiding User from GAL isn't possible if those are synchronized form On-Premises Active Directory. The local AD is the leading system for all important attributes, like SMTP, UPN and hiding from GAL. Especially during a cross-tenant migration, you do not want to see not migrated user in the GAL. Those User aren't actively working until their cut-over day. Since the Exchange Online attribute  msExchHideFromAddressList s is an AD on-premises parameter, we have two possible ways hiding user in BME from GAL.   Modify the AD Connect for your teant with a custom rule, by using a extensionAttribute to set the HidefromGAL. In this rule, for users which have an entry in the extensionAttribute, hiding / un-hiding will be controlled by AD Connect This is the best option for Cross-Tenant Migration, if you run 2 or more AD Connect system We direct modif...

Lync Edge Server FQDN and IP PORTS (Version 1.2, Update 26.11.2014) As we all know, we can configure Lync Edge Server in several way. 1) Single Edge Server with a SINGLE IP ADDRESS 2) Single Edge Server with MULTIPLE IP ADDRESSES (3x IPs) 3) Multiple Edge Server in a Pool, with MULTIPLE IP ADDRESSES (Zx 3 IPs) Regardless what we are going to configure, there are common / well-known TCP Port necessary making Lync work, which are: Access: Port: 443 and 5061 Conferencing: Port: 443 and (444) AV: Port: 443 (I have not listed other ports, e.g. STUN or the dynamic port range. This is not required for the topic discussed here) External FQDN with single IP address: What can we see here? If we are going to choose a single IP address, we would have TCP Port overlapping. Therefore the only way avoiding this is assigning other ports. Additionally we will also see and are reminded that Lync highly depends on DNS. If we have single IP, we must have use single, uniqu...
