Exchange hybrid deployment with servers in different locations

Hi there,

one of our customers is planning to migrate to O365 (Exchange Online in first line) from Exchange 2010 SP3. We want to provide a proper advise how to migrate.

 

They utilize a single AD and a single Exchange Org, but with different mailbox servers (no DAG) in different countries. Gladly they want to migrate to a single tenant.

 

Now the question is, would a hybrid deployment be the weapon of choice? As I'm correct, the hybrid deployment is per Org, so there would be one hybrid deployment.

 

Let's say the the main site is in "country A" and we want to trigger the remote mailbox move for a mailbox hosted on a server in "country B". Would be the hybrid deployment the best approach or would it be better to utilize a migration tool for the different locations?

 

Kind regards,

Chris

      • Hi woelki ,

         

        Is advised to have Hybrid with Exchange 2013 or 2016 that can coexist with your Exchange 2010.

         

        The first link is not advised to follow because is with Exchange 2010. The second one that is in preview also not advised and supported in production and have some limitiations.

         

        The better solution is to have an Exchange 2013 or 2016 hybrid has I have mentioned before.
