Speakers: Nathan O’Bryan (MCSM: Messaging and MVP: Office 365)

The expectation exists that the life of an admin becomes progressively easier as on-premises collaboration workloads like Exchange and SharePoint are moved to the cloud. However, what happens when the need arises to consolidate multiple Office 365 tenants into a single tenant?

As many admins have learned, this seemingly easy project turns out to be an extremely complex task especially if long-term coexistence is required. To add further complexity, the most basic native tools are noticeably missing to accomplish this task in a seamless manner.

Join the experts Nathan O’Bryan (MCSM: Messaging and MVP: Office 365) and Justin Harris (Microsoft Exchange MCM, MCSM and MVP) as they candidly discuss the essential questions that the admin will need to answer before heading into a tenant-to-tenant migration.

What You Need to Know about Active Directory Hybrid Governance

Date: Tuesday, June 21, 2016 at 11am PT | 2pm ET
Speakers: Nathan O'Bryan, Microsoft MVP; Alvaro Vitta, Principal Solutions Consultant, Dell Software

Microsoft calls Office 365 its fastest-growing commercial product ever. In fact, 70% of Fortune 500 companies has purchased Office 365 in the last year. The cloud is not a fad. It’s coming on strong and fast and there is a lot for IT administrators to learn! 

Did you know that on-premises Active Directory (AD) still plays the main role in being the authoritative source for authentication and authorization requests to Office 365? That means that if your on-premises AD is not secure, Azure AD and Office 365 will be open to a host of potential breaches, threats and disasters.

In this webcast, we will explore exactly what a hybrid directory environment looks like and what it takes to make it secure, manageable and available. We will talk through detailed explanations and checklists for improving your security posture and keeping on-premises AD from becoming the Achilles' heel of your hybrid directory environment.
