Hello,
I posted this in the Office 365 forum and was told it should be posted here. We are running Office 365 E1 Standard with on Prem AD and Dirsync running. We've never had on prem Exchange.
We are running into some issues with being able to control Office 365 (Exchange Online) because our on premise Active Directory schema has not been populated with Exchange attributes. We've never had Exchange on premise. There have been several posts in the community about running setup /PrepareAD from the Exchange media to extend the AD Schema to include the attributes. I wanted to see if there are any best practices for doing this. Is it best to do this using Exchange 2010 or 2013 media? We haven't been upgraded to the latest release of Office365. Do we need to make any adjustments to Dirsync after we extend the schema?
Our Forest and Domain functional levels are Windows Server 2008. We have a very basic AD environment in that we have 1 domain with two domain controllers (two sites). We don't have any third party applications that integrate with AD. We won't ever run Exchange on premise, but we would like to be able to set some Exchange attributes on AD objects and sync them to Office 365.
Thanks in advance.
