For more information:

 

My customer they have a old system mail  ~ 50 users., domain for this system is : abc.com

 

Now they want to 1/2 of 50 users to O365 and keep 1/2 in old system. and keep this domain ( abc.com)

 

It mean : 25 users on-premise are going to use old system mail with domain : abc.com

and 25 user in O365 are going to use email domain is abc.com

 

Thank you so much !

Hi!

You have to set up and verify that domain in office 365 to start with! See here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/admin/setup/add-domain?view=o365-worldwide

Don’t change the dns records for exchange! The mails will still go to your old mail server!

What you will do next all depends on what you want to accomplish! Migrating? Set up hybrid solution? What mail system are you running today? We might help you further with more info!

Basically in the end you want to switch the dns records to point to exchange online! Also the UI in office 365 gives great help here regarding records and such!
Just make sure you are comfortable doing this, otherwise get professional help! You don’t want your users screaming that they don’t get any mails :)

Ok! What system are your customer running?

Dear admin,

 

I am asking him, but as my understand, we have two type:

the first one  is Exchange server

the second one is Open server

 

So what are different between, when customer say: they are running Exchange or Open mail ?

 

Thank you so much.
