A2: A hybrid deployment offers organizations the ability to extend the feature‐rich experience and administrative control they have with their existing on‐premises Microsoft Exchange organization to the cloud. A hybrid deployment provides the seamless look and feel of a single Exchange organization between an on‐premises Exchange Server 2013 organization and Exchange Online in Microsoft Office 365. In addition, a hybrid deployment can serve as an intermediate step to move completely to an Exchange Online organization. Q3: Do you know what DirSync is? What is it used for? A3: DirSync, as known as the Azure Active Directory Sync tool, synchronizes your on‐premises Active Directory users to Office 365. For details, I suggest you refer to: Plan for directory synchronization for Office 365. Q4: Which of the 4 migration methods would use DirSync? A4: Hybrid and staged migration will need installation of DirSync before the migration. We can’t perform a cutover migration if DirSync is deployed. Q5: If you are in a hybrid environment and want to create a new mailbox – how and where would you do that? A5: Create the mailbox in the on‐premises mailbox, then move it to Office 365 using the move request. For details, please refer to: Move Mailboxes Between On‐Premises and Exchange Online Organizations in 2013 Hybrid Deployments. Q6: How will the user know if their mailbox has been moved to the cloud? A6: In a hybrid deployment, once we have the Hybrid setup in place, and then Migrate that particular users mailbox to the cloud, exchange will push an update of those settings to that user. The user will get a notification 'the administrator has updated your settings and you must restart outlook'. Once Outlook restarts, their RPC/HTTP settings will point to Office 365 automatically.
