 Sarmed says, we have 30 disabled accounts that still have E3 licenses as we usually keep the mailbox for 90 days. If I convert all these 30 disabled account mailboxes to shared mailboxes to spare a license's cost, this won't affect the data on these mailboxes. Am I right? We are using Exchange Online. Well, it shouldn't. All right, thank you for asking Sarmed. Why turn them into shared mailboxes? Like, how long are you needing to keep them for, like, 30 mailboxes? Surely, couldn't you migrate the data out of it if you need to and put it into folders for each person on one shared mailbox, maybe, rather than 30? I don't know. I just kind of go, but why? I'm guessing they didn't understand shared mailboxes when they set that up and they created it like a user for each single mailbox. That's what it seems like, because they're saying, can we convert these over? Or they're trying to keep, maybe they have salespeople and the salespeople are leaving, and they're trying to convert it into something so that they have that information after that person has left. But it makes sense. I mean, the people are gone. So they're restricted or they're disabled accounts. They don't want to be paying 90 days of licenses for users that are no longer there. So they're looking for a way to reduce that cost. So that's my approach would be, OK, how can we reduce this cost? How can we not pay for E3 licenses for these? Or maybe I'm misinterpreting. Maybe those users are doing something else. They just don't have email. I'm thinking that's not the case. Email is generally the base service. Like if you're an employee, nothing else might be working for you, but email is up. When dropping them down to like an F1 license, that's still mail enabled and cheap. That work. Because they clearly don't need all the other applications if they're no longer at the company. I'd hate to say as an answer to any question, contact Microsoft support for help. But when it comes to licensing like that example, Jonathan, is they are like, I don't know the answer. But if you can. If you can maintain those email licenses, but at a reduced cost. Maybe that's an option. Or just start working out loud with Microsoft teams that you're not actually using email and then all your information will actually stay there for in perpetuity with persistent chat. And then those employees just let them go in the day. I know. That's it. Exactly. Come over to the come over to the modern world. No, that's my two cents worth. Well, another option is to use groups from the beginning and then just train your users to copy groups. So for example, if it's a salesperson, copy everything on sales. And then if they leave, like it doesn't matter because it's all gone into the sales inbox at some point anyways. So this could also though be individual users that they have to keep for 90 days after they've departed in case of a legal issue or in case I know I've had jobs that they review emails and chat history after people are are no longer there. And then they find issues. Yeah, well, so it could be something as easy as all that that F1 would resolve that reduce them to a cheaper license. Indeed. Anything else though? I mean, is there anything else? I mean, I don't think this is converting them over moving to shared mailboxes. So is that is that an option or there are other problems there? Anytime you try to convert a mailbox over an exchange, it's going to give you a headache. I'm just I mean, pretty much that's just that's the short answer. It's I try to avoid that as much as possible. If anybody asks for something like that, I try to come up with pretty much any other recommendation because it's it's not as easy as it sounds. And it's a lot of effort. And there's also like inevitably you're going to lose data. You're going to have corruption. You're going to miss things. It's it's not as simple as that because the way email works behind the scenes is pretty complex. So, you know, you could forward it. I mean, it honestly would just be easier maybe to forward their mail to a mailbox for a certain amount of time or something and keep the reduced licensing or there's plenty of other options. But I agree. Why not just do an off boarding process and reduce the licensing and you're good to go. SD files forever forever.
