We will be discussing the not-so-frequent migration process, Office 365 to on-premises Exchange in this blog.
In some conditions, organization will have to move from Office 365 cloud to on-premises Exchange. The reason can be anything like compliance requirements, a requirement for a hybrid deployment, etc.
Certain factors need to be taken care of while performing cloud to on-premises Exchange migration.
Important factors to be considered
- Size of mailboxes in Office 365
- Availability of disk space on the on-premises server
- Removal of linked mailboxes
- Security group members
- Users without proxy address
- Access rights for users for on-premises and Office 365
Best way to Migrate Office 365 to on-premises Exchange
If someone asks for the best solution to migrate from one Exchange environment to another, then the answer should be a solution which performs the migration task smoothly without any risks. We have some native solutions to move Office 365 to on-premise Exchange like using eDiscovery feature in Office 365 which export mailboxes from Office 365 to PST file using eDiscovery Export PST tool.
Another manual way is used when the user has an already running hybrid environment. Users can move mailboxes batch through CSV file in Exchange Admin Center of Office 365.
What goes wrong with the Native solutions?
Native methods are usually complex and are not suitable for non-technical users. For the PST export method, there are PST corruption risks involved in it which leads to inaccessibility and data losses. And for environments which do not have hybrid deployment, it becomes a difficult task to move mailboxes in bulk.
