8. Why not going hybrid?
 Best of two worlds
 Ability to go back and forth with mailboxes
 Federation Trust (enables free/busy, calendar
sharing, etc)
 All in one management from on-prem
 More storage (mailbox, mailbox+Online archive, Online archive)
 Client autoconfiguration
 No new profile or OST regeneration needed
 No local bandwidth shared with mobile users

9. Requirements for going hybrid
 Exchange 2010SP3+ / 2013CU2+
 If Exchange 2007 > SP3RU10 AND at least one Exchange 2013CU2 CAS and MBX
roles*
 Office365 M, G, E and A plans. So NO SB plans
 Office365 tenant must be 15.0.620.28+ and no Transitioning services true status:
 Custom domain registered already in Office365 Subscription
 Autodiscover DNS record correctly configured pointing to on-prem CAS server
 WAAD Sync Tool (DirSync) deployed and working
 SAN Certificate with EWS and Autodiscover URIs included (sorry no self-signed certs)
 IF want Online Archive feature: ADFS and SSO is recommended
 Always go with RCA tool:
 What about Edge servers?: Exchange 2010 SP3+ OR Exchange 2013 SP1

10. Going
Hybrid!

17. Centralized Transport
 Great for compliance and regulations
 Secure Mail is the main base
 The OnPremisesSmartHost FQDN can be:
 A Single EX2013CAS, EX2013/2010 EDGE server
 Multiple round robin EX2013CAS, EX2013/2010 EDGE servers
 Multiple LB EX2013CAS, EX2013/2010 EDGE servers (great for High availability)
 Create an extra “*.*” connector to forward outgoing mail through
EOP from On-Premises.

27. Done? , not
yet…

28. MRS
 Mailbox Replication Service Proxy allows you to move mailboxes to/from Exchange
Online
 You can choose to move Mailbox, Archive or both
 Can be Configured via GUI or through PS
 Can schedule mailbox moves
Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -MRSProxyEnabled $true

29. What about EDGE?
 Good for not exposing internal CAS or MBX servers to Internet
 Optional but recommended
 Exchange 2010 SP3 or Exchange 2013 SP1
