So, you’ve completed your migration to Exchange Online. Email flows smoothly into and out of the cloud, and all your mailboxes are now online. What’s next for your Exchange Servers, now that you’ve made the transition?
After completion you will have several tasks to perform to remove Exchange Servers from your environment, but there is one important caveat you need to know about; if you run Azure AD Connect then you can’t remove every Exchange Server from your environment. You will need to keep at least one around for management purposes. In this article, I’ll walk through what you can do to minimise what you keep and need to maintain, and what you can consider planning for in the future. You can also join me at TEC this week, on September 2nd.
