RE: [Exchange] On-prem vs. O365
Yes – the on-premises Exchange box is the Hybrid server, and will alleviate the pain of having to modify AD attributes manually one at a time. It also would allow you to host mailboxes on-premises if you have an need for that, so long as you have a license that allows you to host mailboxes on-premises. The free license that you are granted for Hybrid use from O365 does not allow for hosting mailboxes on-premises. You would need to pay for an additional Exchange server license for each mailbox server, (as well as any CALs, I believe) When you login to the on-premises hybrid server (something like http://mail.contoso.com/ecp) , you see that there are two tabs in the upper left corner. One says Exchange and the other says Office 365. The Exchange side lets you modify your on-premises attributes through the Exchange Admin Center. When you click on the Office 365 tab, you will be prompted to authenticate, and can then modify anything on the O365 side. You can’t modify any attributes that are synced from on-premises in the O365 side (you have to do that from AD or from Exchange), however from the O365 side you can set and control full management and send-as permissions as well as forwarding, and things like that. Hope this helps. And Azure AD Connect is head and shoulders above DirSync. Much better interface, IMO.

Not an expert on this, but If you are going to migrate several departments from main tenant to individual tenants, you should investigate installing hybrid server(s) to assist with the migration if needed. We do all the account changes on the local AD side mostly through scripts due to the size of our environment, but occasionally we have to do a manual creation and push a task if urgent beyond our 3 hour Dirsync window. We have DIRSYNC push AD changes to two tenants, but Dirsync has been outdated recently with the release of AzureADSync - but not there yet so you will want to check into that since you are starting fresh.

Unfortunately, the implementation treated the entire state as a single organization, instead of 100+ organizations. Due to this, we were not allowed an actual admin console. So, in order to provision a mailbox, we currently manipulate attributes within the Active Directory user account, and wait for the sync to happen. If something breaks, we send an e-mail to a 3rd party, who then forwards that on to Microsoft for troubleshooting. This can take several hours before I get an initial contact from anyone. We also have no access to powershell, reporting, or any other interface. What we are moving into, what I call “true O365”, is O365-G. Each department will have their own tenant space, so we will regain full admin control over our mailboxes again. I’m just trying to get an idea of what exactly that’s going to look like for our day-to-day operations. We have been told that we will need a single Exchange box on-prem, which will be used during the migration, but that we can maintain, to allow the admin interface; I’m a little confused by what that exactly means as well.

RE: [Exchange] On-prem vs. O365
Dirsync runs every 3 hours. You can run it manually, of course, however the last documentation I saw said that Microsoft did not support scheduling it to run more often than every 3 hours. So – however long it takes to replicate AD to the domain controllers that Azure AD Connect looks at, then the next sync interval after that – 3 hours or less, in a default configuration. Once that is done, you can create the mailbox. Back to your original comment – “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” I’m not sure I follow exactly what you are saying – you say you are in a highly customized O365….but in the next sentence you say you are moving to O365 soon….. [scratches head, wants to understand] If you have no admin abilities, it sounds like you’re using AD sync but don’t have a Hybrid server in place. A Hybrid server would ease the pain you’re dealing with from an Admin standpoint, in my opinion. Yes, you can edit attributes in AD, but that’s a royal pain. (then again, so is managing an on-premises Exchange server, but at least the license is free for a hybrid-only server). We migrated from On-premises (2007) to O365 last year, using Exchange 2013 as a hybrid server. We maintained the hybrid implementation for a few reasons, admin being one of them. Also, what exactly do you mean by “True O365”? Thanks, Jonathan L.
