Best Practices for Syncing On-Premises Active Directory with Azure AD and Hybrid Exchange Setup

67829010 0

I have an on-premises ADDC, and I want to sync it with Microsoft Azure Entra ID to utilize Microsoft 365 services. I would like to use Azure Entra ID Connect to synchronize specific users who are members of a group in ADDC so that only those users will be synced to Microsoft Azure Entra ID. Additionally, I have some services like Exchange hosted on-premises, which I have published on the Internet. I want to set up a hybrid Exchange Online for the users who are synced with Azure Entra ID.

My Users use Outlook for their emails.

What is the best practice to address this scenario and converge the on-premises and cloud environments effectively?

Hi @63470014

If you are looking to implement a hybrid envirement for Exchange, you should start by synchronise on-premise accounts to Entra ID using Entra connect server or Cloudsync.

If you want use ENtra ID connect , you should sync OU of target users. Entra ID cannot sync a user based on group membership .

If you want sync only users membre of a group , in this case you can use Cloud Sync:

Create a new configuration for Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync

Regarding the deployment of Exchange hybridation I invite you to read the following article where you will find all details about all requirement configuration:

Hi Thameur,

Thank you for reaching out and providing more details. I appreciate your response.

To clarify, I have successfully resolved the issues mentioned in your previous response. However, I am now facing a new challenge:

I have on-premises services, including Exchange, that are accessible over the Internet. My goal is to establish a hybrid Exchange Online environment for users who are synchronized with Azure Active Directory.

Specifically, I would like on-premises users to access Exchange on-premises using a URL like mail.domain.TR and sign in to Outlook with a user format like user@domain.TR. On the other hand, I want Microsoft 365 users to access Exchange Online using a URL like mail.domain.COM and sign in to Outlook with a user format like user@domain.COM.

I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to set up this hybrid configuration. Any advice or steps you can provide would be invaluable.

Thank you once again for your assistance.

Best regards,
Hassan Choobeen
