Hello,

What exactly would you like to sync?

For a start, from the PF data perspective, the PFs can reside (be hosted) either on-premises or in Office 365 (Exchange Online). I.e. unlike mailboxes, where you can host some of them on-prem and some in the cloud. You can enable remote PFs so that cloud mailboxes can connect to on-prem PFs, but that's a different story, they are still hosted either on-prem or online.

Now, in regards to your sync, the whole point of it is to have representations in Office 365 (EXO) of your on-prem mail enabled PFs, so that cloud mailboxes (users with mailboxes in O365) can email the on-prem MEPFs. That's why you run that script. What would you like to sync to O365, what is the info on the non mail-enabled on-prem PFs that you'd want to see in O365?

Kind regards,

Florin
