It works but I have an issue.
When I try to configure the O365 new account on Outlook, I received the error : “connection is not secure / not encrypted”
My SBS2011 has a self-signed certificate and DNS was configured for .local domain with another dns zone (remote.domain.com) (for public domain).
Certificate was self-signed
Maybe I have to delete the dns public dns zone ?
Server was not exposed to internet. We uses POP3 Connector to retrieve emails from old provider

I like this idea – it’s more reversible if there’s a problem – just about to give it a try!

I went a different route for my setup that works much easier than the above. Go to IIS and stop the Autodiscover App pool. Then go to services and stop the Exchange active directory topology.

Then disable just disable it, the outlook clients will connect to 365 using autodiscover.
