How you guys handled the mail enabled security groups migration from exchange on perm to 365 ? We are in process to decom our exchange 2016 servers and need a way to get these groups totally cloud. Now, we do want to keep the group on AD cause of resources connected to it like fileshare/firewall group etc. , but we also need the mail part. If removing the SMTP from the group and recreating it on 365 as DL, how can we sync that group to AD ? Sync back via AD connect/cloud connect ? Sorry i am kinda lost on this...

Suggestion and advise please...

We are in process to completely remove out exchange 2019 servers. Everything is hosted on 365 as hybrid, moved DL’s, mail enabled groups etc, mailbox storage on 365, but the source of auth is still on exchange/AD. To make changes we have to log onto our exchange on perm and make changes. How can i completely remove the dependency from exchange on perm so that we can be total cloud. 365 will be only authority for changes to shared mailbox, user mailbox, DL’s, mail enabled groups etc. other than that any other things i need to consider before i shut down my exchange on perm environment ?

Suggestions/advice please 🙏
Thnx
