Hybrid deployment and on-prem Office Group Ownership
cfiessinger We are in the same situation. We are ready to give access to OneDrive and SharePoint Online and would like to leverage groups features but mailboxes are not migrated to O365 and the Exchange administrators are not ready for that.
We can start to assign licenses, that is not the issue. Exchange owners still need to figure out all the impacts of moving mailboxes on the mail retentions, shared mailboxes, public folders...
I found that, if we enable Teams on a group, members can be managed in the Teams UI. It's a workaround but some other features are missing or links lead to error pages.
Any way to start using Groups while doing a gradual migration of mailboxes or it's a big bang thing?
Thanks
MicrosoftDavid, is this a licensing concern?

We now have people requesting Slack. It seems Slack does not require us to move mailboxes to Office 365... Groups should be able to stand alone in order to compete directly with the marketplace...
cfiessinger can you tell me if it's possible to use all groups feature in hybrid mode or point me to someone who can answer?
Thanks.
