Important to point out that in many cases, the remaining Exchange server (coexistence server) is free, so its not like customers have to pay for Exchange Licenses when they are using Exchange Online.

Is the hybrid setup going to be less complicated in 2013? It is a bit of a nightmare right now. All we are trying to do is set up cloud-based archive mailboxes (no mailflow) and it has been quite an ordeal. O365 support seems confused about a lot of things, and are passing around internal documents that seem difficult to find because the published stuff is either out of date, or incorrect in many places. It's taken two weeks just to get to someone in support who knows what they are doing, then it took another 72 hours to get a test account archive working - now we are moving on to getting a real existing user functioning and it is a whole other ordeal. Ugh.

What a coincidence. We were just having a conversation with a customer today about the decom proces they'll have to undertake for the hybrid environment after we leave having wrapped up the mailbox migration piece. They would like us to document the process and here you guys made this convenient guide for us to go off of. Xmas came early. Thanks!

Great stuff. Now how about the same article but focused on removing the online component and leaving the on-premise functional? I have several clients who want to move away from 0365 and return to just on-premise.
