What is Office 365? 
Productivity Applications 
Microsoft Office Project & Visio Office Mobile Office Online 
Productivity Services 
Exchange Online Lync Online SharePoint Online Yammer 
Shared 
Services 
• Provisioning 
• Identity 
Management 
• System 
Monitoring

Office 365 Plans 
Office 365 licenses are grouped into plans 
Business, Enterprise, Education, Government and 
Nonprofit plans 
Same features, different eligibility criteria and pricing 
Business plans have a 300 user limit 
Kiosk plans are available for deskless workers 
Individual service plans are also available 
Different plan families are allowed on the same tenant
Office 365 Plan Comparison 
Business Essentials Business Business Premium E1 ProPlus E3 
User Maximum 300 300 300 Unlimited Unlimited Unlimited 
Full, installed Office applications 
Office for tablets 
Office for smartphones 
Office Online 
File storage and sharing 
Business-class email 
Unlimited online meetings 
Intranet site for your teams 
Social networking 
Personalized search and discovery 
Enterprise App management 
Self-service Business Intelligence

eDiscovery Center
Getting started with Office 365 
1 • Sign up for a trial tenant at deploy.office.com 
2 • Add and verify custom domains 
3 • Configure DNS 
4 • Provision user accounts (Manually/DirSync) 
5 • Assign licenses
Getting started with a tenant 
Sign up for a trial at deploy.office.com 
E3 trial recommended 
Consider your tenant name carefully
Demo 
Add and verify custom domains 
DNS configuration
Identity Management 
Azure Active Directory: 
– The shared identity platform behind Office 365 
– Integrates with enterprise identity platforms 
– Enables single sign-on 
– Should *not* be confused with running your AD 
Domain Controllers as VMs in Azure 
Three identity management models: 
– Cloud Identities 
– Synchronized Identities 
– Federated Identities
Cloud Identities 
No additional hardware 
Great if you are “cloud only” 
Multiple credentials 
Authentication 
Azure Active Directory 
User 
Manual Creation 
.CSV Import 
Authorization
Synchronized Identities 
Up to 2 additional servers 
Syncs a hash of password hash 
Same sign-on 
Authentication 
Azure Active Directory 
User 
On-premises 
Active Directory 
Authorization 
DirSync
Federated Identities 
Minimum of 3 additional servers 
Authentication occurs on-premises 
Single sign-on 
Azure Active Directory 
Authentication 
User 
On-premises 
Active Directory 
Authorization 
DirSync 
On-premises 
AD FS One-way trust
Which identity management model?? 
Cloud identities work great if you don’t have an on-premises 
AD, for testing or simple pilots 
Synchronized identities enable same sign-on without the 
need for federation 
Consider synchronized identities unless you specifically 
require federation 
Federation enables true single sign-on and can be 
leveraged for other SaaS applications 
It is possible to change models – keep it simple!
Directory Synchronization (DirSync) 
Used to sync user, group and contact objects from on-premises 
AD to Azure AD (Office 365) 
Allows these objects to be administered using existing 
on-premises processes 
Users are logon enabled, but not automatically licensed 
to use services 
Ability to sync only a subset of your users through OU, 
domain-based or user attribute filtering
DirSync vs AAD Sync? 
Azure Active Directory Synchronization Services (AAD 
Sync) is a new sync service 
Enables sync'ing multi-forest AD environments without 
the complexity of FIM 
Allows advanced provisioning, mapping and filtering 
rules for objects and attributes 
Enables multiple on-premises Exchange organizations 
to map to a single tenant
DirSync Requirements 
Windows Server 2008 with SP1 or later 
It must be joined to the on-premises AD 
.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and 4.5.1 
Objects in AD CPU Memory Hard disk size 
Fewer than 10,000 1.6 GHz 4 GB 70 GB 
10,000–50,000 1.6 GHz 4 GB 70 GB 
50,000–100,000 1.6 GHz 16 GB 100 GB 
100,000–300,000 1.6 GHz 32 GB 300 GB 
300,000–600,000 1.6 GHz 32 GB 450 GB 
More than 600,000 1.6 GHz 32 GB 500 GB
DirSync Considerations 
The UserPrincipalName attribute (UPN) must be known 
to the user and publicly routable 
Sync’d attributes cannot be blank, have spaces or 
invalid characters 
SQL server required if on-premises AD has more than 
50,000 objects 
Need to contact support if sync’ing more than 50,000 
objects 
Usually easier to set the UPN to match email address
Demo 
DirSync configuration 
Synchronization and attribute flow
Notes from the field 
Workstation readiness is often overlooked and could 
cause large project delays 
Most AD environments will require some remediation – 
IDFix can help! 
Using an internet proxy? Bypass the proxy for Office 
365 URLs 
Consider license assignment and management

Editor's Notes

  1. G’day, thank you all for coming. Welcome to the last technical session of the day “Getting started with Office 365” My name is Chris Goosen and I’m an Office 365 MVP
  2. Personal Intro As an introduction, I’ll give you a little more background about myself. I have an Microsoft infrastructure background, working mostly with Microsoft Exchange server and in recent years as we have seen more and more customers look to the cloud for solutions that has evolved and I’ve started doing a lot more with Exchange Online and supporting technologies in Office 365 If we look at our agenda today, we’ll cover a few things that are important when getting started with Office 365. To frame the discussion, we’ll have a look at what office 365 is I do have a couple of short demos that will help break up the powerpoint and show you some of the things we’ll talk about I’d like this session to be interactive so we’ll have some time for Q&A at the end of the session, but feel free to let me know if you have any questions as we go as well Audience Questions: Anyone currently using or planning to start using Office 365?
  3. Office 365 Home/Personal which are subscriptions that allow the installation of the Office suite and include online storage and Skype calling minutes. Office 365 for business plans are again broken down.. Also have: Education plans Government plans Nonprofit plans Individual service plans for Exchange Online or online storage, file sync and sharing with OneDrive for Business.  Mix and match plans now possible: http://blogs.office.com/2014/07/09/evolving-office-365-plans-for-small-and-midsized-businesses/
  4. AAD Sync is Intended for more advanced configurations
  5. Installation on DC is not supported, but isn’t recommended for production use.
  6. All customers of Azure Active Directory and Office 365 have a default object limit of 50,000 mail-enabled objects. When you verify your first domain, this object limit is automatically increased to 300,000 objects.
