  • The Deployment Readiness tool stores all results in a folder on called c:\office365reskit. Within this you will find a folder called HTM. If you zip that folder up and email to your chosen partner of Microsoft Technical Specialist, they can help ascertain if there are points you need to discuss around AD, etc. If you zip the HTM folder only, it should be small enough to mail through.
