Offboarding Users in Office 365 - Firing Megan Bowen

This Tech Talk was inspired by a question in another session when an Office 365 admin asked how to get information back after deleting a former employees OneDrive. (It is possible for up to 30 days, but that ship had sailed). In this Tech Talk, John Petroschek, Agile IT Cloud Specialist (Our resident "Master of Migration") discusses and demonstrates how to properly remove a user's access to your Office 365 tenant without losing data or access.

Topics covered:
- Immediately shutting down access
- Remotely logging out a user
- Putting an in-place hold / Litigation hold on mailbox data
- Saving license costs for retained email boxes
- How to properly preserve OneDrive data from former employees.

WHO IS MEGAN BOWEN?
If you've watched many Microsoft demos, you've seen Megan Bowen. As the default user in Microsoft's demo tenants, she is the user who clicks on the phishing email, shares credit card infor by email, and downloads malware. Her exploits are so common, she has become an inside joke among Microsoft employees and partners, with her name becoming synonymous with user error.

We have had enough, so for this demo, when we needed to fire somebody, Megan was the obvious choice! Bye Megan!
