On premise 2016 to exchange online
Hi all, i have a hosted exchange 2016 with 22 tenanats that I need to migrate. I don't want to install AAD connect or hybrid. Is there a way to do it manually by importing a CSV file? Or do a cut...

hi input04 , It all depends on the following parameters.
- Do you have multiple mailbox servers ?
- How do you want your traffic to be routed (external traffic). For example, route external traffic to hit your on-prem org then the traffic route to your on prem ?.
- Route all mails to Online first and route to On-prem through connectors.
- Do a cut over migration where all the traffic goes to Online and de-com on-prem if not required.
- Pretending that you have one OU with more than 1 on-prem server, you would need to run Entra ID connect for each tenant separately.
Here is a quick link for you to understand the Multi Tenant setup: September 2020 Hybrid Configuration Wizard Update | Microsoft Community Hub

- No.
- Traffic hits the on prem, yes
I can't do cutover, that's what the entire thread is about, I've read that KB on #5 - Question is, can you use the same vm over and over? Meaning - install a vm, run aad and hybrid on it for tenant #1, finish migration, remove both, proceed to the next one and so on?
