Morning,
Just want to get people's views on best methodology going forward, since we have migrated to O365.
If a member of staff changes there name - when we were fully on-prem we use to
Create New AD Account
Create New E-Mail address (include old e-mail address as alias)
Put and _ in front of old mailbox
Export old mailbox then import to new mailbox
With the migration to 365 is the below a more suitable method?
1. Create New AD Account
2. Create New E-Mail address
3. Turn on E-Mail forwarding on old e-mail account to new e-mail account rather than an alias
4. For the old mailbox – just export the current mailbox (while logged in as user) and not the archive then re-import into the new mailbox – one user has logged in - but this does seem to take a long time as its imports in to the local machine first then uploads it to our cloud exchange.
