Overview

About this course

This course is an intensive and in-depth look at how to manage services Office 365, and in particular, how to manage identities, both in the cloud, and in situations where Office 365 is synchronized with on premises Active Directory or where additional single-sign on (SSO) has been deployed.

Each module focuses on a specific area of Office 365, except for Modules 5 and 6, which together cover the highly interrelated areas of Domain Name System (DNS) and Exchange Online. The course starts with simpler configuration topics before moving on to more complex areas, such as Exchange Online migration, directory synchronization, and single-sign on (SSO) with Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS).

Course Scenario

The scenario in this course provides the framework for the practical labs that reinforce the knowledge covered in the modules. Hence, the scenario forms a linking narrative that explains what you are being asked to carry out in the labs.

Lucerne Publishing is a global media and printing corporation that owns a number of subsidiary companies, including Litware Inc, Proseware Inc, and the Graphic Design Institute. The group has just under 2,000 employees around the world and provides stories for newspapers, prints novels, licenses and creates and distributes digitally signed artwork for publication purposes.

The organization is moving to Office 365 to provide a more scalable business model that enables employees, authors, and illustrators to collaborate together and be more effective at selling their work globally.

For tax reasons, the organization’s headquarters is in Berne in Switzerland, where the majority of its permanent staff work. However, it also has regional headquarters in the major continents and a number of content creators who work from home.

Hence, the customer will begin by managing user accounts in the cloud. However, when they discover that there are too many account changes happening, they make the decision to move to DirSync. Soon thereafter, they find that they need to implement enterprise search in hybrid SharePoint, so they have to implement single sign-on (SSO) through Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS).

The scenario implements the Office 365 FastTrack deployment approach, as covered in Course 10968B: Designing for Office 365 Architecture.
