External SMTP flow for Hybrid environment
I am running a hybrid environment with Office 365. All mailboxes are in Exchange Online and I am trying to minimize my Exchange 2013 footprint on-prem. My programs, printers, and devices point to a D...
Hi Jason,
You can chose the 2 options, it always depends what you need. For me I always prefer to keep hybrid because the management, but you can have your scanners pointed directly to your MX with the connector created like the article says.
You can keep the connetor for the hybrid and create a new one.
Nuno,
Thanks for the fast response. Let me see if I get this right: Since my hybrid has a NAT to an external IP (example: 1.1.1.17), and that IP is in my SPF record, and the receive connector in 365 has the cert which has the SAN that points to that IP: all I would need to do is point the Netscaler to our MX record, and it will go through the hybrid?
Questions:
1. Would I need to change the connector in 365 to accept by IP or does the cert work?
2. Can I NAT the netscaler out, and add the IP and be able to remove the hybrid from the equation?
Thanks,
Jason H

Thanks Nuno for your help. This might get me closer to our overall end goal of no exchange environment. But the following article got me going by changing up the receive connector a little bit. Now both internal and external emails are sending out through the hybrid to 365 EOP.
