Office 365 Hybrid Configuration Wizard
Configuring your environment using the Exchange Hybrid Configuration Wizard is one of the most critical moments before the actual migration. This tool is used to configure your local domain and Office 365 tenant, so that your on-premises Exchange can merge with Exchange Online, resulting in the creation of a single, hybrid organization.
Before you run the HCW, you need to prepare:
Follow the steps to migrate Exchange 2016 to Office 365
Credentials of an on-premises Exchange user who is a member of the Domain Admins security group
Credentials of the Office 365 Global Administrator
Office 365 plan which supports hybrid deployment (Enterprise, Government, Academic or Midsize)
The Wizard can be started from Exchange Admin Center (EAC) by going to the “hybrid” tab.
Clicking on the “configure” button redirects you to the Office 365 login page. To continue, you have to enter your tenant’s global administrator credentials. By default, administrator’s login has the following format: administrator@tenant.onmicrosoft.com. In a few seconds, a page with a download link should appear:
Clicking on the link will start the download of the Office 365 Hybrid Configuration Wizard Installer. The HCW installation should start automatically. If the installation does not start on its own, just run the recently downloaded installer and follow the steps on the screen.
On the next screen, the wizard either searches automatically for the right Exchange server or waits for the user to specify it. In Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2013 it must point to the server with the Client Access Server Role. Another option is to set the location from which the Office 365 is hosted for the company. In most cases, it is Office 365 Worldwide.
After entering the credentials, the Wizard attempts to log into each server using PowerShell. It is done in order to verify that the credentials, necessary for the Hybrid deployment to be completed, are valid.
Note that in this step, there is an option to “use current Windows credentials”. If the on-premises admin validation does not work, you should unmark the checkbox and enter the right user’s credentials manually
The last step is entering the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the on-premises organization. FQDN is resolved to the public IP address and enables mails to be routed to the on-premises Exchange.
I hope this is helpful!
