  Yes, what you have read is correct and is what happened when our demo tenant was transitioned across.

  Hi Carfan, note that there are a few items that may have difficulty when doing an SPO Transition into SPO365.  Note the items listed, as they will not stop the Transition but you may seen these items with red X's when you access them in SPO365.  This is due to some of the ASP.Net controls and certain webparts are not longer supported in SPO366:

  1. SharePoint 2007 Webparts that will not transition properly:
     1. Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.DataViewWebPart
     2. Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.RSSAggregatorWebPart
     3. Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.XmlWebPart
  2. ASP.NET controls which will not survive the SPO Transition:
     1. System.Web.UI.WebControls.RegularExpressionValidator
     2. System.Web.UI.WebControls.CreateUserWizard
     3. System.Web.UI.WebControls.ChangePassword

  6 things Customers Must Know About SPO Transitions
  

  1. There will be minor disruption of service at the start of SPO Migration which may last from 1 to 15 minutes per site collection
  2. 3 days before the migration date (aka Lock Phase) tenant admin will not be able to add/remove users, groups, site collections etc.
  3. 2 days before the migration date (aka Move Phase) the site collection will be set to Read-Only for all users. The Read only phase may last from few minutes to 48 hour and as soon as the SPO14 is ready, DNS is updated to point to new SPO14 site which is set to Read-Write.
  4. All site-collection URLs are retained after the migration
  5. SPO365 environment provides a NEW default site-collection. Customer has option to change the default site-collection as per instructions below
  6. The new SPO365 ribbon-UI can be turned on per site collections as per instruction below.
   
  Changing Default Site After a SPO migration the tenant administrator can visit the Office365 portal and choose which site to make their default portal as follows:
  1. Log in to their O365 admin site
  2. Click the link to go to SharePoint Online administration
  3. Click on ‘Manage Site Collections’, and at this point they should see a list of all their site URLs.
  4. Click on the checkbox next to the site they want to make their default portal, click on the ‘Settings’ button in the ribbon, and then choose ‘set as default site’.
   
  Upgrade SharePoint 2007 UI (look and feel) to SharePoint 2010.  You can upgrade your site collection or specific site by following these steps:
  1. from Site Actions -> Site Settings
  2. Under Site Collection Administration
  3. select Visual Upgrade to update all Sites with SharePoint 2010 Look & Feel
   
  To Apply this on specific Site: Your Site -> Site Settings -> Title, Description and Icon ->Visual Upgrade Section

  Hi Ryan.  Super helpful information.  If I may, a couple of follow up questions.

  When you/they say site collection URLs are retained, does this mean if we've set our "intranet" as everyone's IE home page, this intranet URL will continue to work after the migration?  Does this mean links people have to subsites and folders will also be valid post migration?

  Also, will people who have mapped libraries and lists to Outlook need to re-map these?  What about folks who have mapped libraries as network drives?

  When you say we can enable the SP 2010 look and feel if we want, does this mean the SP2010 setup in Office 365 looks and feels like SP 2007 unless we turn on the SP2010 look and feel? 

  Thank you!

  Carfan,

  The URL's are retained means that, if you have a link to a site (collection) that was in BPOS, it will work to the same location in O365.  This means that Outlook-connected lists should still function.  I'm not POSITIVE about mapped network drives, but I don't see why they would be affected either if everything else seems to work just fine.

  The "look and feel" will be the same as in BPOS until you manually change it. 

  Have a great day,

  Dan

  HI Carfan, Dan has got it right, almost always does...ah, kidding Dan :-)

  Question:  When you/they say site collection URLs are retained, does this mean if we've set our "intranet" as everyone's IE home page, this intranet URL will continue to work after the migration?  Does this mean links people have to subsites and folders will also be valid post migration?

  Answer:  We are moving the site collections into SPO365 and changing the DNS CNAME records for these site collections to point to the SPO365 locations, so users won't need to change any URLs, they will continue to work just as before the Transition.  Also, not sure if you meant "intranet" sites and IE, but that reminds me about authentication.  if you are using Federated authentication (i.e. users are associated with a federated domain allowing AD users and credentials to access online services), then you will want to set your ADFS namespace (i.e. https://*.domain.com) in IE's Intranet zone.  This means that when a user hits SPO365, they ask who you are and you respond with user@federatedDomain.com and you get redirected to your ADFS server for authentication.  Since the FQDN of your ADFS deployment has "dots" in the name, IE sees it as an Internet zone and will NOT automatically pass creds.  Adding https://*.domain.com to your Intranet zone will allow IE to silently pass creds to ADFS, so when it is all setup, the user hits SPO, SPO sends you to ADFS, client automatically sends creds and once authenticated, you are sent back to SPO...NO PROMPT FOR CREDS!! - Hope that is what you were asking about :-)

  Question:  Also, will people who have mapped libraries and lists to Outlook need to re-map these?  What about folks who have mapped libraries as network drives?

  Answer:  No, should be no need to change ANYTHING.  Since the CNAME records reference SPO365 instead of BPOS SPO, all the links should continue to work without issue.  Now if you change from Standard Authentication (separate user name and password) to Federated Authentication, the links will still continue to work, users just won't be prompted for credentials :-)

  Question:  When you say we can enable the SP 2010 look and feel if we want, does this mean the SP2010 setup in Office 365 looks and feels like SP 2007 unless we turn on the SP2010 look and feel?

  Answer:  Post Transition your SPO365 sites will LOOK like the SPO 2007 environment/UI.  You as a Site Collection administrator can go into the site collection and enable the 2010 look-n-feel, to use the new Ribbon UI, etc.

  Great Posting on "How to Enable SPO365 2010 UI" after Transition into O365:  http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/155/p/24331/114826.aspx#114826

  Thanks for the great post Ryan!  I completely forgot about credential passing on Internet sites vs Intranet sites.
