Create shared mailbox on Hybrid environment - directly on O365 or onpremises then migrate it to O365

Hi,   What is the recommended way to create shared mailboxes for a hybrid environment? There are some issues if you create them directly to O365 - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3129334/u...

    Hi Carlos,

     

    If you have an Hybrid, your autodiscover is pointing to your on-premises Exchange. If you create your Mailbox only in Cloud, your AD and Exchange does not have any propreties of that mailbox, that is the issue.

Hi David,

 

You can convert in Office 365 the shared mailbox on the Exchange Admin Center or Exchange Online Powershell. 

 

You do not need to migrate the mailbox to on-premises.
