Hybrid migration is one of the methods that offers a seamless experience but is also the lengthy one. However, for small and medium businesses, setting up a hybrid model would be too complex as it involves fulfilling a lot of requirements and configurations.<\/p><p>To facilitate migration to Office 365, Microsoft has added the Express Migration method to Microsoft 365 (Office 365). It uses the Hybrid Configuration Wizard (HCW) and the directory synchronization with Entra ID Connect. It allows to configure the users and migrate mailboxes to Office 365 with minimal impact.<\/p><p>It is to be noted that the Express Migration is intended for setups that want to take the cloud first approach. It requires you to remove all Active Directory server from the IT infrastructure. So, once the migration is ready, keeping the Entra ID Connect will not be an option.<\/p><p>Below, we will see how to use Express Migration method for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/article\/migrate-exchange-to-office365.php\">migrating from live Exchange Server to Office 365<\/a>.<\/p><p>Process to Migrate from Local Exchange Server to Office 365 using Express Migration Method<\/p><p>Here&rsquo;s the step-by-step process to use Express Migration method.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Create New Domain and Update UPN Suffix<\/h3><p>For the Express migration, you need to have a Microsoft 365 tenant with the domain partially setup. This means that the domain can be used to setup the users with email addresses. But it will not be routed from outside since the MX record is still pointing to the local Exchange Server.<\/p><p>You need to have a new domain in the UPN suffix of the local Active Directory. For this,<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the <strong>Active<\/strong> <strong>Directory<\/strong> <strong>Domains<\/strong> <strong>and<\/strong> <strong>Trust<\/strong> from the <strong>Administrative<\/strong> <strong>Tools<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the window that opens, right-click on the top node and click on <strong>Properties<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"452\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/In-the-window-that-opens-right-click-on-the-top-node-and-click-on-Properties.png\" alt=\"In the window that opens right click on the top node and click on Properties\" class=\"wp-image-170849 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/In-the-window-that-opens-right-click-on-the-top-node-and-click-on-Properties.png 452w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/In-the-window-that-opens-right-click-on-the-top-node-and-click-on-Properties-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/In-the-window-that-opens-right-click-on-the-top-node-and-click-on-Properties-150x98.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px\" \/><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In Alternative UPN Suffixes, enter the domain name and then click on <strong>Add<\/strong>.

Once it&rsquo;s configured with the password hash synchronization configuration, you should be able to see the local users which are synchronized in the Office 365 tenant.<\/p><p>To confirm this, open the Office 365 portal and try to login with the email address of the user along with the Active Directory password. This will confirm that the Entra ID Connect is working fine and you can configure the Hybrid Configuration Wizard (HCW).<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Configure the Hybrid Configuration Wizard (HCW)<\/h3><p>Now, you need to install the Hybrid Configuration Wizard (HCW) on the local Exchange Server. For this,<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the Exchange Admin Center (EAC) and log in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <strong>Hybrid,<\/strong> click on the link to download the HCW, and start the installation.<\/li>\n<\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"846\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Click-on-Hybrid-click-on-the-link-to-download-the-HCW-and-start-the-installation.png\" alt=\"Click on Hybrid click on the link to download the HCW and start the installation\" class=\"wp-image-170853 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Click-on-Hybrid-click-on-the-link-to-download-the-HCW-and-start-the-installation.png 846w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Click-on-Hybrid-click-on-the-link-to-download-the-HCW-and-start-the-installation-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Click-on-Hybrid-click-on-the-link-to-download-the-HCW-and-start-the-installation-768x529.png 768w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Click-on-Hybrid-click-on-the-link-to-download-the-HCW-and-start-the-installation-150x103.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 846px) 100vw, 846px\" \/><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Once installed, specify the running Exchange Server or let the software detect the server.<\/li>\n<\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"809\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Once-installed-specify-the-running-Exchange-Server-or-let-the-software-detect-the-server.png\" alt=\"Once installed specify the running Exchange Server or let the software detect the server\" class=\"wp-image-170854 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Once-installed-specify-the-running-Exchange-Server-or-let-the-software-detect-the-server.png 809w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Once-installed-specify-the-running-Exchange-Server-or-let-the-software-detect-the-server-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Once-installed-specify-the-running-Exchange-Server-or-let-the-software-detect-the-server-768x464.png 768w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Once-installed-specify-the-running-Exchange-Server-or-let-the-software-detect-the-server-150x91.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Set the local Administrator account you want to use to login to the Microsoft 365 tenant so that the Hybrid Configuration Wizard (HCW) can connect the two sources and setup the required connectors.<\/li>\n<\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"808\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/connect-the-two-sources-and-setup-the-required-connectors-1.png\" alt=\"connect the two sources and setup the required connectors 1\" class=\"wp-image-170858 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/connect-the-two-sources-and-setup-the-required-connectors-1.png 808w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/connect-the-two-sources-and-setup-the-required-connectors-1-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/connect-the-two-sources-and-setup-the-required-connectors-1-768x355.png 768w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/connect-the-two-sources-and-setup-the-required-connectors-1-150x69.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 808px) 100vw, 808px\" \/><\/figure><p>Once ready, the next step is to start migrating\/seeding the data to the Microsoft 365 tenant.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Migrate the Data<\/h3><p>Now that the Hybrid Configuration Wizard (HCW) is configured, you can move the mailboxes from the local server to Office 365. Here are the steps:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>From the Exchange Admin Center (EAC) of the local server, select <strong>Office 365<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Recipients<\/strong> and then click <strong>Migration<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the <strong>Add +<\/strong> button and select <strong>Migrate<\/strong> <strong>to<\/strong> <strong>Exchange<\/strong> <strong>Online<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <strong>Remote move migration<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the users that will be migrated.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>This will create a migration batch and start seeding the data while the users can still use the local mailbox. Once the seeding is complete, you need to complete the migration batch. This will do one last seed and the users will be automatically redirected to the online mailboxes.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Decommission the Server<\/h3><p>After migration of the data, you should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/how-to-decommission-exchange-server-after-migration-to-office-365\/\">decommission Exchange server<\/a>. You should not just shut down the server. First, uninstall the Exchange Server from the Control Panel after all the mailboxes have been migrated and then decommission the server.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"to-conclude\">To Conclude<\/h2><p>Above, we have discussed the stepwise procedure of migrating from a local Exchange Server to Office 365 (Exchange Online) using the Express Migration method. However, this process can be lengthy and complex, allowing you to move only mailboxes. As an easier and more efficient alternative, you can use <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/exchange-migration.php\">Stellar Migrator for Exchange<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p><p>With this advanced tool, you can seamlessly migrate mailboxes, public folders, and archive mailboxes from on-premises Exchange Server to Office 365 or another live Exchange Server.
