Migrating from O365 to On-Premise Exchange 2019

Hi All

 

We are currently having an O365 deployment with M365 E3 licenses. The Users are synced via Azure AD connect. Recently , the management decided to migrate some of the mailboxes to On-Premise Exchange 2019  and we have completed the Exchange Installation.

 

Now we are the stage of implementing the Hybrid Configuration with the Centralized EMail Transport. However , we have once concern that when mailbox is moved to on-premise exchange

 

- Do we need to unlicense the user in O365(otherwise he will be having 2 mailboxes)

- If so , what will happen to his access for other apps.((like OneDrive , Sharepoint , MS Office Apps , etc). 

 

Appreciate your feedback.

 

Regards

Muralee

    We were able to get a solution from the MS Support Team and I am sharing it here to benefit others as well.
    The recommendation was :

    * After building the Hybrid Configuration.

    - Migrate the O365 mailbox to On-Premise Exchange Server.
    - Go to the License & Apps under the User property in O365 portal.
    - Unselect the Exchange Online (Plan 2) from the Apps list.
    - This will ensure that the user mailbox is only in On-Premise Exchange Server and still he will be able to access the SharepointOnline, OneDrive and DesktopApp ,etc)
