Do you do the user creation in the O365 console, or a combined effort? If online only, how long does it take to sync back to the on-prem AD for network access?

Currently, we have to manually manipulate attributes in ADUC, then wait for a scheduled sync to the cloud, for the mailbox to be created. This can take several hours. It’s not the same in true O365 is it?

I think time and skill wise it is very similar.

We are currently in a highly customized O365, but I have next to no admin abilities. We are going to be moving to O365 soon, and my boss is asking me to create a document comparing where we are now, to where we will be, and how much, if any, our workload will increase. I’m really not worried about the workload, but what I want to focus on, is the increase capabilities I will have administratively. The best way I can think to do that, is to see the difference between on-prem and true O365.
