***PLEASE CHECK THE BOTTOM OF POST FOR UPDATE!!***<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Recently when setting up a domain which was already being filtered and hosted by Microsoft forefront into Office 365, Upon changing the nameservers, the MX records correctly updated from mail.global.frontbridge.com<\/strong> to 365’s one (domain.outlook.com<\/strong>) , however the email still flowed to the host setup up in Frontbridge instead of the 365 Mailbox<\/p>\r\n

The local UK support number for Office 365 : 02034506455 did not pick up after 2 x 30minute sessions with holding music!<\/p>\r\n

Next I tried Frontbridge International Support : 0018662917726 ( Which is free to call via Skype from anywhere ! ). Luckily a helpful techican ‘Mudassir Ansari’ helped me with the following :<\/p>\r\n

You can fix this issue by performing the following ( pretty sure this will work to BPOS as well as 365) :<\/p>\r\n

Make sure your domain is verified in Office 365 and the correct DNS is set or nameservers migrated<\/p>\r\n

Download and install the Migration Tools 32bit here : http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/en\/details.aspx?familyid=9ed5f4c1-7f0b-4506-a214-32093af6147a&displaylang=en<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Go into your frontbridge control panel and disable the domain , then delete it!<\/p>\r\n

Open a Power Shell Window
<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Enter this command : $LiveCred = Get-Credential<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Enter your office 365 administrator Details<\/p>\r\n

Enter this command : $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https:\/\/ps.outlook.com\/powershell\/ -Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Then this command : Import-PSSession $Session<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Then this command : Set-AcceptedDomain **ENTER YOUR DOMAIN HERE** -OutboundOnly $true<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Wait 2-3 Minutes<\/p>\r\n

Then this command : Set-AcceptedDomain **ENTER YOUR DOMAIN HERE** -OutboundOnly $false<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Then wait for Microsofts Cloud SMTP Servers to Update , in my instance it took 15 minutes<\/p>\r\n

<\/h3>\r\n

**** UPDATE — 16\/11\/2012 *****<\/h3>\r\n

Upon trying this recent with a customer , the Domain removed off FrontBridge Online Protection\u00a0Service\u00a0( FOPE ) however did not readd itself to 365 after running the above command<\/p>\r\n

The issue was the domain was duplicated in FOPE for some reason<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n\t
  • Login to Admin Panel of 365 as an account administrator<\/li>\r\n\t
  • Choose –\u00a0Exchange (\u00a0<\/strong>Outlook settings and protection. ) then Click\u00a0Manage<\/li>\r\n\t
  • Choose\u00a0Mail Control <\/strong>on the left hand side , then Domain’s and Protection<\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t
  • Try Clicking on the “Configure IP safelisting, perimeter message tracing and email policies.<\/strong>”\u00a0<\/strong>under\u00a0Forefront Online Protection for Exchange\u00a0<\/strong>( on the right )<\/li>\r\n\t
  • It will probably come up with an error<\/li>\r\n\t
  • Click on the domain on the left hand side which should \u00a0be marked\u00a0HOSTED<\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t
  • Change this to Share ( wait 30 seconds and change back to Hosted )<\/li>\r\n\t
  • Log off then back in again and try to access the\u00a0Configure IP safelisting, perimeter message tracing and email policies.\u00a0<\/strong>which should work now and the domain should propigate<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

    **** UPDATE — 23\/03\/2013 *****<\/h3>\r\n

    As of the \u201cnew\u201d office 365 (ie \u2013 the service based on Exchange 2013), there is a new process for swapping a domain from Frontbridge to Office 365. This replaces what we used to do for existing FOPE\/Frontbridge customers.<\/p>\r\n

    The new process is actually very easy<\/p>\r\n

      \r\n\t
    1. Change the MX record to the Office 365 MX record (domain-name.protection.outlook.com or similar)<\/li>\r\n\t
    2. Disable the domain in Frontbridge\/FOPE.<\/li>\r\n\t
    3. Wait a couple of minutes and test mail flow. Email should start going to the O365 mailboxes.<\/li>\r\n\t
    4. Remove the domain from Frontbridge.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
