• Enable Microsoft Teams for Microsoft 365 Users – Completed 

Texas A&M previously disabled access to Microsoft Teams as Skype for Business was the official chat application of Texas A&M University. To prepare for the end of life for Skype for Business, all Texas A&M Microsoft 365 users have been granted access to Microsoft Teams.  

• Switch Microsoft 365 Authentication – Completed 

Azure Active Directory, the backend identities for Microsoft 365, will switch from authenticating using Shibboleth on-premise to Azure Active Directory native authentication using password hashes synchronized from AUTH Active Directory. This method of authentication allows access to continue in the event of an on-campus outage, and allows Microsoft’s AI to analyze our logins for password spray and other identity-based attacks.  

• Create Exchange Hybrid – Completed 

Configure Exchange environment to be a hybrid with Exchange 2016 on-premise and Exchange Online so that both on-premise Texas A&M Exchange and Microsoft 365 at Texas A&M work together as a single platform. Users may need to reauthenticate their mail/calendar clients. At this time, authentication to Texas A&M Exchange will switch to use Azure Active Directory (Microsoft 365). 

• Migrate Users to Microsoft 365 – Completed

This should be transparent to end-users, as the migration from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2016.
