Hey guys i've got a question. So i have a client who is using a hosted solution and accessing mail through pop and would like move Exchange 2013. I'm trying to come up with a way to get this done in a staged manner. they already have an internal AD infrastructure setup.
So here's my idea:
- create a public sub domain example temp.domain.com with mx record of course.
- add sub domain as alias to all accounts user@temp.domain.com
- set the default domain (domain.com) as internal relay
- set sub domain as authoritative
- Connect users outlook to Exchange
- setup forwarding on the POP account to forward to user@temp.domain.com
- Disconnect POP account and import pst to exchange mailbox.
- Switch MX once all mailboxes are moved
Does my plan sound plausible? if not, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
