Exchange 2010 (On-prem) Migration to Hosted Exchange/Office 365 Planning

@DustinB3403 Are you referring to the equivalent of the Enterprise User CALs?

@Dashrender Hmm. So far, from some brief googling, the ability to recover/restore seems underwhelming.
have you found any examples of someone who has lost data by Microsoft and not had it restored?

I've discussed this so many times with you, I actually said this in my head when I saw that post, LOL.

@scottalanmiller No, I have not. But I know I will get asked this- what if someone intentionally deletes messages past the deleted items retention period?
Also, what would someone use this for if everything is baked in (specifically the Exchange part)

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/uspartner_ts2team/2015/12/31/microsoft-partner-azure-iur-skykick-cloud-backup-offer/To me this looks like someone who is trying to sell RHEL - it's completely unnecessary. Sure you can do, but why would you? Unless you're just one of those who absolutely has to be in control of every piece.

I think the Admin has access to everything that is deleted for a period of time.

How do you answer this for locally hosted?
Do you have an appliance that saves every email flowing through your system now? It's possible someone could get a message, and delete it before you backup the system.. then a month later the boss wants that recovered - is there an option? (I guess depending on your backup situation - Exchange probably has a way for you to restore the delete items items.. then go back and find it.. but I've never don that).

@Dashrender Email archiving software/appliances.

-
@scottalanmiller So you would basically add a 3rd party archiving service?

You can, but I thought Dustin linked to something that MS offered in this same vein.

Yes, just like you do in you are doing an on premises email system. MS doesn't provide that, but you can add whatever service you like.

@Dashrender Litigation hold is usually for certain users at a time and not retroactive if something has already been removed. Kind of like half-way archiving.

Hold can't be retroactive by definition

Thanks to everyone for participating. Anything else that should be considered?

Based on your mentioned query, I would recommend you to follow Exchange server deployment assistant that is available from Microsoft team and covers all required aspects by checking the necessary prerequisites : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dn756393.aspx
Here is another informative technet article which provides step-wise details to accomplish this task in flawless manner.

@scottalanmiller What I have seen is people losing data for a day or two but not everything. Office 365 recovery or restore for Exchange or Sharepoint is an all or nothing approach. The restore cannot be granular and that's why I enable Recycle bin on Sharepoint.

@wrx7m How did your migration go? Have you done any more? Just curious what tools (if any) you used......
I'm about to start a migration and need to decide if I am going to do it as a pst import, or a migration from on premise exchange to cloud, and if so, do I use the built-in migration tool at admin.exchange.microsoft.com or a third party tool.
I am interested in what you did and what the pros and cons were.
Thanks!

Ended up doing a migration using the standard MS tools. Been a few years now and am glad I did it.
