I know, I know–that means you still need to keep an Exchange server around. Upgrade your legacy Exchange server to Exchange 2016. If that isn’t going to work for you, I have one more solution to offer: If all you care about is password sync, and you have less than 100 users in your organization, you might consider switching to the Windows Server Essentials Experience password synchronization feature, instead. So what are we to do? You have two choices. Other organizations want to keep Azure AD Connect for enabling true Single sign-on (SSO), pairing it with Active Directory Federated Services (ADFS). ![]() Because Azure AD Connect comes with so many cool features! For example, most SMB’s don’t want to lose the ability to synchronize local AD passwords and enable self-service password resets. ![]() Microsoft’s official stance regarding hybrid is this: If you remove the last legacy Exchange server from your domain in a hybrid environment, then you should also remove Azure Active Directory Connect (your ability to synchronize passwords to the cloud). One of the most common frustrations I hear from readers and clients alike is the requirement for keeping a hybrid Exchange server around, even well after all of your mailboxes have been moved to the cloud.
