Hello Experts. I have exchange 2013 on prem, with 1 AD, 1 domain, 1 exchange. We are thinking of moving to O365 for email. I know during synchronization, the on-prem distributiom groups will show up in O365, but will need to be upgraded to O365 groups. After i upgrade these distribution groups to O365 groups, where will i manage these groups from? From on prem exchange, or from the O365 admin portal? We will have hybrid migration with ADFS. I know during a hybrid migration, everything should me managed from on-prem, but am a bit confused for O365 groups. Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
