Deploy Hybrid existing Office 365 with new AD and new Exchange server
Enable-RemoteMailbox working properly.
Thanks a lot to share this article.

Hi Md. Shamim Reza,
I think best option could be:
- Sync Users with ADConnect
- Enable Exchange Hybrid Configuration (I think this configuration could be optional, based on your needs)
- For users that already have an Office 365 Mailbox, don't create a mailbox but use powershell command Enable-RemoteMailbox (https://docs.microsoft.com/it-it/powershell/module/exchange/enable-remotemailbox?view=exchange-ps). In this way users should make a soft match (via UPN and ProxyAddress) with those who have mailboxes already present on Exchange Online.
My advice is if possible to replicate the scenario in a laboratory and test it before going into production.
Best regards

DaniloBelcastro Thanks for share the link.
Using the Enable-RemoteMailbox (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/enable-remotemailbox?view=exchange-ps) cmdlet create a new mailbox in the Exchange online for Active Directory sync users.
According my scenario suppose, mailto:user1@abc.com.bd is existing user in Office 365. This user will be created in AD and match to Office 365 as sync user. You mention @For users that already have an Office 365 Mailbox, don't create a mailbox but use powershell command Enable-RemoteMailbox. I appreciate with you. but when I will use Enable-RemoteMailbox cmdlet from on-prem Exchange server for mailto:user1@abc.com.bd that already have an Office 365 mailbox, then what will happen?
