Date: Wednesday, October 19, 2016 at 10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET

Speakers: Nathan O'Bryan, Microsoft MVP; Steve Fox, Senior Product Manager; Corey Rivers, Systems Consultant, Virtualization

Organizations are moving to a hybrid model, using some Office 365 online services but maintaining others on-premises, behind a secure firewall. Exchange Server 2016 is here now, featuring a simplified architecture, smarter inbox, and better data loss protection. But does it police itself? How does it connect with the rest of the infrastructure? And how do you detect and resolve performance and availability issues that may be affecting your Exchange servers?

Attend this webcast for an introduction to troubleshooting Exchange on-premises, hybrid, and Exchange Online. You’ll also see how a large banking organization consolidated their disparate messaging platforms into a single optimized Microsoft Exchange platform using Foglight and other management solutions from Dell Software.

What You Need to Know about Active Directory Hybrid Governance

Date: Tuesday, June 21, 2016 at 11am PT | 2pm ET
Speakers: Nathan O'Bryan, Microsoft MVP; Alvaro Vitta, Principal Solutions Consultant, Dell Software

Microsoft calls Office 365 its fastest-growing commercial product ever. In fact, 70% of Fortune 500 companies has purchased Office 365 in the last year. The cloud is not a fad. It’s coming on strong and fast and there is a lot for IT administrators to learn!

Did you know that on-premises Active Directory (AD) still plays the main role in being the authoritative source for authentication and authorization requests to Office 365? That means that if your on-premises AD is not secure, Azure AD and Office 365 will be open to a host of potential breaches, threats and disasters.

In this webcast, we will explore exactly what a hybrid directory environment looks like and what it takes to make it secure, manageable and available. We will talk through detailed explanations and checklists for improving your security posture and keeping on-premises AD from becoming the Achilles' heel of your hybrid directory environment.

Migrating public folders to Exchange Online: Doing it right the first time

Public Folders have been a part of Exchange since 1996, and thanks to customer demand they are not going away anytime soon. As more customers migrate to Exchange Online in Office 365, they are finding out that the migration path for public folders is not always as straight forward as you would expect. For instance, Microsoft currently does not provide a direct path to migrate from modern public folders to Exchange Online. Additionally, Outlook for Mac or Outlook on the web users that have been migrated to Exchange Online will not be able to access legacy on-premises public folders. What should be done in situations like these?

As we approach the fifth anniversary of the release of Office 365, many of the “easy” Office 365 migrations are done. Customers that are migrating to Office 365 now have much more complex requirements. Multiple services, multiple Active Directory forests, complex on-premises Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business deployments, and many other factors contribute to making Office 365 migrations more difficult.

In this webcast, we’ll explain how to take complex identity management requirements and make them manageable. We’ll discuss how instead of relying on legacy tools Microsoft gives away, you can remove the identity barriers for your Office 365 migration while building a foundation from which to launch your entire future cloud strategy.

This webcast will show how you can:

Configure SSO for Office 365 in minutes
Easily manage user provisioning on one pane of glass
Automatically assign service-level licenses in Office 365
