Over the this series of posts I’m going to go through the entire process of migrating an Exchange 2010 server to Office 365.  The method we are going to use is a hybrid migration so that we can migrate users over a longer time period.  I am going to use Azure Active Directory Sync for SSO (or Single Sign On) so that users do not need to use a separate set of credentials for Office 365.  I am also going to implement an Exchange 2016 server into the configuration.  The reason for this is that the Exchange 2016 server is going to be my Hybrid server or Migration Endpoint and will connect directly to Office 365.  The advantage of this is that I do not need to mess with the live Exchange 2010 server and can do all the work for the hybrid migration on the unused Exchange 2016 server.  You then also have the advantage of having an Exchange 2016 server left behind for management when the migration is finished.  This is a real world example so all the steps that you see were used on a live working setup.
