We have a division splitting into its own organization and getting their own O365, but they are still under our HR dept. and need access to our HR login. What I have figured out is that they need to switch from Standard account to Mail Users accounts. They will still have a login but not a mailbox or services. I need to convert their mailboxes to mail user and forward them to their new O365. How do I do this without a on-premise exchange?
To narrow down this one, I would confirm some information with you:
Do you mean that those mailboxes have be migrated to another Office 365, but they still need to login some APP/web in your organization?
Which mail server that you used? Which permission need to login your APP?
Why you want to forward emails to their mailbox rather than send emails to them directly?
Hi
In your AD, as I understand it, it's only a OU they will have, not another ad domain ?
Will they receive new email from a new external domain for the email ?
The limitation is more there IMO, as if the same email domain I would suggest administrative unit or information here (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/roles/administrative-units)
They are planning to go 100% cloud they already have their own mailboxes and Azure Active Directory Domain Services. Right now, I have SMTP Forwarders on the mailboxes, but I was told we don't want to pay for the licenses, and we should move to Mail Users so they can still use the HR Enterprise Apps. We don't have access to their tenant, and they are 100% managed by their own IT Team. I just don't want to pay for their license and backups for their emails, from what I understand of the situation is that are spun off for risk mitigation so i don't want to have to e-discover their emails.
