Migrate from Skype for Business Hybrid to Skype for Business online

Has anyone attempted this and what was your experience?  We are currently in the process of moving all of our users from on-premises to the cloud.  I found a great article that goes through some step...

    Earl,

     

    When you say remove Hybrid mode and go to Cloud only, are you referring to Skype for Business Hybrid, or are you talking about even disconnecting Azure AD? For removing Hybrid from a Skype for Business Online tenant, you would simply change the required DNS over to point at Skype for Business Online, and then remove the configuration that was set via PowerShell to setup the "SharedSipAddressSpace" in SFBO. At that point, your Skype for Business Online environment is completely standing on its own (and on-prem servers can be decommissioned), but your user accounts themselves will still show "Synced", as they are created in your on-prem AD and synced to the Cloud using Azure AD Connect.

     

    Sorry if I seem to be rambling, I just wanted to make sure it was all cleared up on your end.

Anthony Caragol - I've had it take an hour or more per user depending on the size of the organisation before it shows up on SfBO Admin portal.

JasonWynn Yep :)  I'm way too impatient for that, that's when time slows down for me...
