Sysadmin

I hate running in hybrid. I can't wait to shutdown our local DCs and go entirely Azure AD.

Managing users, groups, devices, policies... Is all so much easier directly in Azure/365 admin tools.

You can manage a lot right from the Admin app on your phone.

You don't have to join new PCs to the network. You can ship a new laptop directly to a user and they log to it at setup using their 365 login and it joins your cloud domain. It's a PITA to get PC joined to the domain to join the cloud/hybrid and it doesn't offer as much control over the device.

I also love that you can join Android devices to your domain the same way! Manage users, apps, wifi connections, remote wipe/lock. GPS tracking. Remote reboot or play lost alarm sound. It's slick.

If you've never done this before, you may want to hire an outside consultant. I’ve done a million of these migrations, and there can be issues, and MS support sucks these days.

That said, broad overview: first step is installing Azure AD Connect and syncing to your 365 tenant.

Second step is updating UPN suffixes to match your public domain.

Third step is installing the Hybrid Wizard on your exchange server and doing a test migration.
