You can remove TLS and use Public IPs for Migration , if its going to be a short migration.
Hi,
I’m planning to setup hybrid Office 365 with my exchange 2010 environment.
fyi>EOP had already configured a few years ago with Office 365. so currently all incoming and outbound emails go thru Office 365.
I was wondering whether I still require to do the Receiver and Sender Connector Configuration steps as part of the Wizard. do I skip this? as it’s already configured.
Please advise.

You can skip it. or remove those connectors. as all mail flow is via office 365 to send and receive
Hi,
Nice article for the migration, few queries with you :
1. Respective to dns records (internal and external) what are the changes we have to do?
2. how the autodiscover will work for the on-premise users and exo users, any config changes have to perform?
3. EWS and IIS any changes on config?
1. Respective to dns records (internal and external) what are the changes we have to do?
No change required initially to start the co-existence
2. how the autodiscover will work for the on-premise users and exo users, any config changes have to perform?
Autodiscover will keep hitting on-premises and redirect to the cloud
until you move all
3. EWS and IIS any changes on config?
No changes made in EWS and iis
Hi,
If using two FQDNs – mail.exchange.xxx for web services/443 and smtp.exchange.xxx for SMTP/25, do you recommend using smtp.exchange.xxx as the Org FQDN while configuring HCW (classic full hybrid). Will the HCW be able to create a migration endpoint if so (using mail.exchange.xxx) or will there be a manual intervention required?
Thanks in advance!
No . Hybrid Configures 443 / While configuring mail flow you use the SMTP FQDN
Hi,
Thanks for the article. Configured Hybrid Wizard, however, users on the cloud cannot send to on-prem and vice-versa. But can sent to external cloud users.
Will selecting enable centralized mail transport resolve this issue?
