Here's another handy script in my migration toolbelt - one of my very frequent tasks during different types of migration projects is to configure forwarding on mailboxes.

PowerShell: Connect to the Security & Compliance Center

Thunderbird to Office 365 Migration
Every now and again I come across some oddball migration scenarios that require some out-of-the-box thinking.

G-Suite to Office 365: Meeting Room Interop
One of the challenges when migrating from Google Suite to Office 365 is coexistence - mail routing is not that hard to configure, and free / busy (Calendar Interop) is now available and works fairly well.

Use PowerShell to find Mail Contacts
It seems like one of the tasks I do the most on projects is discovery and documentation of existing settings in a client's environment. While there's a number of reports in the Office 365 portal, I find that nothing beats PowerShell for getting just what I want when I want it - and this time … Continue reading Use PowerShell to find Mail Contacts
