We are migrating 600 users from on premise Exchange 2010 to Office 365<br />
<br />
We are performing a cutover migration and want to remove our existing on premise Exchange (therefore no hybrid)<br />
From all the scenarios to keep password sync from on premise to Office 365 we require ADFS/Dirsync.<br />
<br />
We want redundancy but we do not want to keep more servers for Office 365 than we had for Exchange. ie 2 ADFS, 2 DIRSYNC, 2 DIRSYNC proxy<br />
<br />
Can we just deploy the Windows Azure dirsync with password sync and will this replace the ADFS feature.<br />
<br />
We only need the password sync option and the users should only login with their credentials once.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Office 365 is a group of software plus services subscriptions that provides productivity software and related services to its subscribers. Office 365 allows the use of Microsoft Office apps on Windows and OS X, provides storage space on Microsoft's cloud storage service OneDrive, and grants 60 Skype minutes per month. Office 365 includes e-mail and social networking services through hosted versions of Exchange Server, Skype for Business Server, SharePoint and Office Online, integration with Yammer, as well as access to the Office software. All of Office 365's components can be managed and configured through an online portal; users can be added manually, imported from a CSV file, or Office 365 can be set up for single sign-on with a local Active Directory using Active Directory Federation Services.
