Office 365 - Hybrid Issue

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

I am wanting to migrate to Office 365. I have a Exchange 2013 SP1 on site server. I am trying to setup a hybrid but getting the below error. The domain users has User has remote powershell rights and the Exchange server traffic is not going via proxy.

The log has this in

Any ideas?

 

Will Office 365 support this please?

 

Thanks

It should be compatible but it's worth checking your tenant isn't running in an older version than is supported by SP1.
