Hybrid migration questions
*Every* configuration that involved synchronizing users from the local AD *requires* you to have at least one Exchange box On-Prem for management purposes, this is not specific to Hybrid. That said, Hybrid is the preferred method in most cases, as it's transparent to the end user, and fairly easy to configure now that we have options such as minimal Hybrid: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/exchange/2016/06/24/hcw-improvement-the-minimal-hybrid-configuration-option/

Hello Vasil,
Thank you for you clear answer.
As I was thinking, I'll need to have an Exchange en premise. But the actual server Exchange 2010 SP3 on SBS 2011 is really end of life, and I need to remove this one. So can I install a new Exchange 2016 only for management and how do it?
Where can I have the hybrid license ?
As this Exchange is only for management, do you think it's ok to install it on a domain controller ?
Thank you

As you will not be using any features apart from the management tools, leave the SBS running IMO.

I really want to remove this SBS Server.
I mean, this server crash once per week and consume a lot a disk space on our infrastructure. And the server is 8 years old, I think it's time to go for him...
Does exists a documentation for replace this old server by a new Exchange on permise ?
Thank you for your answer
