Active Directory DirSync to Office 365

Getting ready to move to Skype for Business hosted with Office 365.

Has anyone done this migration

Any Tips or suggestions to prevent issues

---

We already use O365 for Mail so we already have some users contacts there, but this is requesting groups, users, and I'm not sure, but does it read the Group Policies of our domain?

You have to be a bit more specific here. You are migrating from what? If you have Lync/SfB server on-prem, there's detailed documentation about the possible migration approaches available on TechNet.

If you have over 50 users, you can get free assistance from Microsoft via the FastTrack center: https://fasttrack.microsoft.com/

I ended up having to change my domain name...this was a challenge

Did it.

Uploaded AD to O365, managed to get the groups set up and have moved our VOIP services to SfB.

Still managing AD locally and only allowing Distribution Groups to associate users in O365, and removed the Security Groups from impacting those accts as well.

I've become very familiar with 0365 in the past week and have done two transfers for two different companies in that time.

Not as bad as I thought it could be.
