Exchange / O365 Hybrid

[Simcfc73]

Hi,

 

I've been playing with this for a week now (oh the joy) and just wondered if anyone is using the hybrid facility. I've hit a wall at the moment where it seems I have 2 mailboxes visible and the mail is not syncing when I log onto the cloud section. All the settings are passing between them as far as I can tell.

When you look at the mailbox on your on prem exchange does it show as an Office 365 mailbox or an on prem mailbox? You might have an on prem mailbox and an Office 365 mailbox. If it is that you'd need to remove the users Exchange Online license in Office 365 and then migrate the on prem mailbox over, before enabling the license for them again.

When you get it all working - perhaps you could put together some notes to ell me how its done. A bit like the grand old duke, I've been up and back down this path several times. I am somewhat reluctant to simply move Email to the cloud - partly because I don't know what the band width implication will be for users, partly because I know how to manage a local Exchange box, but have to get my hands dirty with shell scripts to manage Office 365 Email. And there is the hassle of migrating all the inboxes. And with a local copy of email - at least I can back it up easily and with almost no extra cost. Slightly wary of getting myself into limbo when email either doesn't go to either place, or can't be retrieved from both places. Lots of Online guides of course - and if everything went to plan it should be fine. As I said - please update to tell us how you get on.
