Does that mean you need to buy SBS essentials and set up that with the plugin ?
I'm seeing prices < $1000 for SBS 2011 with one of the HP Micro servers - http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/HP-ProLiant-MicroServer-Turion-II-Neo-N40L-1.5-GHz/2502916.aspx
And I see the SBS 2011 Essentials at $545 retail.
What does the SSO option with separate server for sync price at?

You should not be looking at SSO for just 10 users with office 365 as you really need a 100% uptime connection (not 99.99%). We looked at this with small clients and putting in a separate server for the sync component is over the top. The build in sync tool is a complete solution build for big enterprises.
If you simply want 10 users to be able to do email and share logon passwords for both services (Local AD and O365) then SBS Essentials has a plugin which is a much simpler solution.

“So if you need AD FS for single sign-on, how was the process?”
This will be a poor technical explanation, but hopefully helpful:
We use SSO for our expense reporting, and how it works for us is we have an IIS server that handles the SSO function via certificate with us
and our vendor. The cert sits on our IIS server and the corresponding cert sits in the “target” environment. The IIS server is in our “trusted sites” zone which allows the domain credentials to get passed to the IIS server. The target side trusts our IIS server (trust is misleading here because it’s the cert that allows access not a domain trust, but I digress..).
The user experience is they go to our SSO website and they have a dropdown of what SSO site to connect to click connect and away they go, no prompting for credentials.

Getting ready to migrate a small office environment to office 365. Domain is 2008 R2, only 10 users. I'm reading through all the documentation and specifically looking at the requirement for a separate machine to host the Directory Synchronization tool. Anyone here do this yet with a small office? Just curious as to the load on the box. I'm going to create a VM for this but see that the minimum requirements are 4G RAM and 70G of disk space. That seems high to me for something like this in a very small environment. Curious to hear what others have seen after doing this in a similar environment.
Also just starting to read about single sign-on. So using the AD Sync tool doesn't give you single-sign on? It just gets your users and groups up to Office 365? For what purpose, if the credentials are synched? That's what I don't understand yet, but I'm not done reading yet, so maybe that will come. So if you need AD FS for single sign-on, how was the process?
Thanks,
