• Directory Synchronization, ADFS, SSO, Exchange Hybrid Environments
• Lync On-Premise may require Lync EdgePlan On-Premise Hardware
• Inventory SMTP relay sources• Identify which 3rd party applications are in use• Must be compatible with Exchange Web Services
Identify current Mail Enabled Applications
• Hybrid, Simple Coexistence, or full Cutover?• Legal hold needs, and expectations• Understand the storage management limitations

Tips, Tricks, and Pitfalls• Use the Planning Tools to speed up environment
discovery• Coexistence is much more complex than cutover• Video Conferencing has a significant impact on
Bandwidth Usage• Moving to the cloud may require NEW on premise
hardware investment• Federation is more than a few checkboxes

Plan SharePoint Online• Global Site Collection Settings, Intranet / Extranet / Internet
• User Profiles, MySites, Site Collection Admins• InfoPath Services, BCS, Managed Metadata
Plan to manage SharePoint Online by using the
Administration Center
• Site Collections, Site Permissions• Site Features• Branding and “Look and Feel”• Avoid migrating highly customized sites
Plan Sites and Manage Users
• Metadata, Content Types• Navigation and Search• Social Tagging and Notes• Up to 300 Site Collections limited to 100 gigs each
Plan Content on Sites
Share CloudDallas
Copyright © 2012 Credera. All Rights Reserved.
Plan SharePoint Online• BCS is now included as of November 2011• Not all 3rd party add-ons are created the same• SharePoint Designer, InfoPath 2010, Office, VS 2010
Plan Customizations and Solutions
• Leverage introductory videos provided my MS• Formal presentations, informal lunch and learns, self-paced instructional videos
• Departmental or team champion “Super Users”
Train and Support Users
• Storage should be closely monitored• Event Auditing to make educated decisions• Improving Search through reporting
Plan to Monitor and Maintain Site Collections and Sites
Share CloudDallas
Copyright © 2012 Credera. All Rights Reserved.
Tips, Tricks, and Pitfalls• Make use of Site Collections, your limit is now 100 gig• Don’t plan on heavily customizing or branding MySites• Release and deployment planning for new sites and
content doesn’t disappear just because its in cloud• Utilizing Sandbox solutions is mandatory for many
features and functions to operate correctly• You do not have access to deploy solutions that interact
with the web application, which limits deployment options

Plan Lync Online• Connect to Lync users outside of your organization• Your Lync On-Premise can be federated as well (requires different SIP domains)
• Lync Coexistence is coming!
Plan Domain Federation
• Windows Live is Supported• AOL and Yahoo are not supported• This is an all or nothing setting, no blocking or unique configurations for different companies or IM providers
Public IM Connectivity
• Lync 2010 Windows, Lync for Mac 2011• Outlook Web Application, Lync Web Application• Lync Attendee for Online Meetings• Lync Mobile (Windows Phone, iPhone, iPad, Android)
Client Tools
Share CloudDallas
Copyright © 2012 Credera. All Rights Reserved.
Tips, Tricks, and Pitfalls• Use of Public IM connectivity in Office 365 is not
equivalent with Public IM connectivity using Lync on-premise
• Training and education materials for Mac users will need to be customized, as most free materials from Microsoft focus exclusively on the Windows client experience

Plan End-User Experience
Rich End User Experience• Microsoft Office 2010• Microsoft Office 2007 SP2• Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac and
Microsoft Entourage® 2008 Web Services Edition
• Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac• Office Web Apps• Microsoft Lync 2010• Office 365 desktop setup
Web Experience• Internet Explorer 8• Firefox 3• Chrome 6• Safari 4• Later versions of these…
There are two types of end user experiences, web and rich user experience
Share CloudDallas
Copyright © 2012 Credera. All Rights Reserved.
Tips, Tricks, and Pitfalls• Leverage the Productivity Hub for educating users on
how best to exploit the Office platform they will utilize with the MS Online Service
• Rolling out a new version of MS Office will increase support calls; be sure your service desk is ready
• If you don’t currently have a software distribution method, consider leveraging Windows In-Tune to help smooth the deployment effort

Share CloudDallas

Tips, Tricks, and Pitfalls• Keep your exchange migration window as small as
possible, don’t drag it out!• Break users into migration groups if necessary to keep
things simple• If you intend to utilize a long-term coexistence model,
plan for support with legacy platforms and services• Clean up your Active Directory service sooner than later• Identify before you start the dir-sync, if there are users
you wish to exclude from federation

Configure Lync Online1. Enable firewall ports for Lync conferencing servers
2. Disable authentication for Lync Online audio and video traffic when an authenticating HTTP proxy is employed
3. Allow User Datagram Protocol (UDP) traffic for better Conferencing Experience
4. Perform Network Optimization for Conferencing Experience
5. Enable Public IM and Federation (if necessary)
Share CloudDallas
Copyright © 2012 Credera. All Rights Reserved.
Tips, Tricks, and Pitfalls• Prepare for the necessary DNS service record changes
before you start the installation process• Use the checklists provided by Microsoft, and do not skip
any steps under the assumption they are not necessary• Have a formal test plan for Lync usage both onsite,
remote and for anonymous users before you initiate pilot testing, or you will be testing for a very long time
• User driven adoption of the platform is often more effective than a formal service announcement from IT

Configure SharePoint Online1. Inventory On-Premise content and customizations•Focus on migration Candidates•Keep in mind usage patterns (remote access, distributed teams, non-standardized users)
2. Determine roadmap for all customizations•Can a sandboxed solution be implemented?•Does this customization leverage any features not currently available in Office 365
3. Package all customizations into WSPs
4. Migrate content•No content migration support•Be wary of “date modified” and “modified by” fields

Tips, Tricks, and Pitfalls• Take full advantage of the opportunity to review
hierarchies and archiving plans prior to migration• Test your migration process early and often• Have a mature production migration process (using
WSPs) when deploying customizations• SharePoint Workspace can be used to help manually
copy content into sites, but this can be time consuming• Acquire low cost 3rd party tools and save hundreds of
hours of manual labor
Share CloudDallas

Configure Client Computers and UX
1. Perform client upgrades
2. Install the Office 365 desktop setup package
3. Office 365 desktop setup package automatically configures Outlook and Microsoft Lync
4. Desktops can be updated by user or through Active Directory
Share CloudDallas
Copyright © 2012 Credera. All Rights Reserved.
Tips, Tricks, and Pitfalls• Office 2007 SP2 and later is supported• We strongly recommend Office 2011 for Mac to achieve
the best user experience and higher feature parity• Without a software distribution tool, you will have to
manually deploy the O365 Sign-In Assistant• Office for Mac is not a supported license option for the
Office 365 suite, it is a separate purchase cost• Migrating from older version of Office (XP,2003) will
introduce the ribbon…be prepared for user transition
