I am preparing to deploy Office365 for my organization. We have an on premise
Active Directory Domain Controller (Windows Server 2012 R2). We would like to leverage our
Active Directory for: automatic user provisioning in Office365, and password synchronization, using the DirSync tool.
Our
Active Directory Domain is example.pvt. Email is currently Rackspace Exchange and email addresses follow the form
[email protected].
Active Directory User Logon Name follows the form firstinitiallastname.
My Questions are:
What
Active Directory Attribute(s) can be use in provisioning the email address in Office365?
Is it possible to use the E-mail field in
Active Directory to provision the email address in Office365?
Will the fact that our
Active Directory Domain has a different extension (.pvt vs. .com) cause a problem with our planned provisioning method?
