Helping customers get into or out of Office365.Assisted a customer migrate a group of users from Office365 to on-prem Exchange with custom-scripts to create linked-mailboxes, updating a third AD forest to switch distribution lists to contacts (so updates only occur in one place), syncing Public Folder data from a separate Exchange environment.Advised on additional hardware requirements, managed migrations from start to finish.--Created PowerShell scripts and multi-threaded application to test/verify pre-requisites for OneDrive For Business installation on corporate machines moving MyDocs from file servers and locally-stored. Application synced Offline Files (in the file server case), and updated file/folder names to match requirements for OneDrive, including shortening paths by unfolding folders. See sample screen caps.--Merged and migrated an existing Exchange 2010 environment to an existing Office365 tenant without DirSync (in use by another disconnected forest). Created scripts to effectively synchronize directories, matching to existing contacts/cloud users from multiple tenants, recreating group memberships, all preserving replyability across migrations. Manually synced Public Folders, scripting the "movement" of mail-enabledness.Handled GPO changes, transport rule updates, MX/SPF cutovers, Exchange and anti-spam server decommissioning.
