exchange on premise is necessary?
Technically, it's not necessary. However, the only *supported* way to manage Exchange related objects and attributes is via the Exchange tools, thus for any configuration that involves AAD Connect it's recommended to have at least one Exchange box for management purposes. If you don't care about the *supported* bit, you can very well manage everything with the AD tools.

Vasil Michev thanks for the reply.
I need to understand what it means that the scenario is not *supported*.
Does that mean I am implementing the solution without the exchange on premise in case of a problem, can microsoft support refuse to support me because I am not in a supported scenario?
Can I use aduc and adsiedit to change attributes without the exchange on premise?Thank you
regards- You can use those tools yes, but regarding Microsoft support, yes they can just say it’s unsupported
Thanks for the reply.
However the absurd thing is that not even the operators of the microsoft o365 support know this thing.
I happened to speak with several operators of the support of o365 and they don't know this aspect.
A technician risks setting up an environment and then not receiving support in case of problems.
At this point I will always install an exchange as it is still licensed for free by ms with hcw.Thank you
Regards
