Description
Using third-party tools to perform Exchange-to-O365 migrations can be extremely costly, especially for small businesses with very little IT budget.  Using the FREE native tools that Microsoft provides vastly reduces hard costs, but using them can be confusing.  As such, I've authored this outstanding course on migrating email from on-premises Exchange to Office 365 using Microsoft's native tools.
In this course, the student will learn how to prepare for (and perform) a cut-over migration from an on-premises Microsoft Exchange 2010 server to Office 365 / Exchange Online.

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to successfully plan, prepare for, and perform a cut-over migration from Exchange 2010 to Office 365 using the native tools that Microsoft provides.
