Microsoft Office 365 ??? Exchange Online Implementation and Migration

Chapter 2. Getting Familiar with the Office 365 Admin Portal

Now that we have shown you how to sign up for Office 365, it's important to get familiar with the administration interface as it is the central control point for everything to do with your subscription.

In this chapter, we will walk you through the high-level interface, adding a domain to your subscription, as well as diving deep into the administration sub-interfaces. Topics covered will include:

  • First-time login and adding your domain
  • Navigating the administration overview interface
  • Exchange online administration interface

First-time login and adding your domain

To get to the administration interface you will need to browse to https://portal.office.com and log in with the credentials you chose during the sign-up process (as seen in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Office 365):

First-time login and adding your domain

  1. The first step of utilizing Office 365 for your business requires that you add your domain (for example, yourcompany.com) in the portal. This is a necessary place to start, as your domain will be used later in many aspects of the admin portal.
  2. Upon logging in for the first time, we will see the provisioning page from when we first signed up:

    First-time login and adding your domain

  3. To add your domain to Office 365, click the Admin tile to enter Admin Center. From here, click Settings and then the Domains menu option on the left:

First-time login and adding your domain

You will see that the tenant domain already exists (for example, yourcompany.onmicrosoft.com) in the listing. This domain cannot be removed, however after completing the next few steps, your Office 365 subscription will be set up in a way that the...

Navigating the administration overview interface

In this section of the chapter, we will take you through the high level administrative interface for Office 365. The interface is broken down into several sections:

  • Home
  • Users
  • Groups
  • Resources
  • Billing
  • Support
  • Settings
  • Health
  • Admin centers

Home

The Home section assists you with beginning your journey with Office 365 and gives a quick access to common administrative tasks, such as adding users, managing billing, giving an overview of service health, and displaying any new messages regarding new features and changes.

In this section, you will find other general information about how to get started with your Office 365 subscription as well as links to more information. We will cover most of this information through the rest of this book as it relates to migration and Exchange Online.

The following screenshot shows the Home screen with all its menus in the left panel and quick links in the center:

Home

Users

The Users page of the management interface allows you...

Exchange admin center interface

Delving deeper into the Exchange admin center interface is possible by selecting the Exchange option under Admin Centers in the left hand menu. This will open a new tab within your browser and provide you with much more granular access to the interface. The following screenshot shows you the intricacies of the Exchange admin center interface:

Exchange admin center interface

While a great many features and functions are available through the web-based exchange admin interface, a lot of functions are only available through PowerShell which will be covered later in the book.

Recipients

From within the Recipients section of Exchange Online management, you have the ability to:

  • Modify properties of user mailboxes
  • Create room mailboxes (for example, meeting rooms)
  • Create shared mailboxes
  • Create distribution groups or mail enabled security groups
  • Manage external contacts
  • Perform mailbox migrations from Exchange 2007, 2003, 2010, 2013, 2016, and IMAP mail systems

Permissions

From within the Permissions section...

Summary

In this chapter, we have shown you how to find your way around the Office 365 and Exchange Online administrative interface.

We have also shown you how to start customizing Office 365 by adding your own domain to the environment.

From here you should now have the knowledge and tools to begin planning your migration to Exchange Online.

In the next chapter, we will discuss the integration options available when using the Office 365 Business plans.

Description

Organizations are migrating to the cloud to save money, become more efficient, and empower their users with the latest technology. Office 365 delivers all of this in a reliable, fast, and ever-expanding way, keeping you ahead of the competition. As the IT administrator of your network, you need to make the transition as painless as possible for your users.

This guide gives you everything you need to develop a successful migration plan to move from Exchange, Google, POP3, and IMAP systems to Office 365 with ease. We start by providing an overview of the Office 365 plans available and how to make a decision on what plan fits your organization. We then dive into topics such as the Office 365 Admin Portal, integration options for professionals and small businesses, integration options for enterprises, preparing for a simple migration, performing a simple migration, and preparing for a hybrid deployment. Later in the book, we look at migration options for Skype for Business and SharePoint to further help you leverage the latest collaborative working technologies within your organization.

If you are a small business owner, manager, or consultant, this book will also help you. Knowledge of Office 365 is not required. However, experience with Exchange Server and mail clients, and role and delegation concepts is required.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.
