Migrating mailboxes to Office 365 was a quite challenging Project, primarily due third party software that we use as MDM and the customization of tools and access. Once we completed our planned migration tasks by 500 mailbox each (this was the recommended number by Microsoft) we decided to keep one On-Prem Exchange 2016 server for some shared mailboxes used by Service accounts applications that are not compatible with Office 365. Also, because our Hybrid environment and our mailbox provision process, we decided to create new users mailboxes on-Prem and move them to Office 365 on daily basis.
For we I develop a Script that makes the Job, just schedule it in MS Orchestrator or Tasks Scheduler and that it, a report with the users to migrate will be delivered to the specified admin mailbox or DL.
Hope this script helps you make your life easier, please send me comments or questions.
