I do go for Exchange first then do Skype on-prem to on-line to Teams

We did, our Exchange 1st, our Skype went to the cloud very quickly after (in a week for over 6k users), and now were switching users to MS Teams Only mode.

Hi Teshi80

How did you go about decommissioning the on-premise Lync servers?

not worrying about that as we're already on the way to MS Teams

so Skype On-prem > Hybrid > Teams Only mode

that way you then start to provision New users direct to Teams skipping the S4B steps etc.

Then in 2021 or earlier we plan to remove all S4B from our environment, as the online is EOL and on-prem wont be in use.

Overall goal for us is to get all users to MS Teams.

but the answer to the question you asked is https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/skypeforbusiness/hybrid/cloud-consolidation-disabling-hybrid
