@DustinB3403 What's that quote? "Not my circus, not my problem."?
You tried it their way, and were proven correct. Besides, no email server should loose any email by not being available for an entire day, let alone 6-12 hours. Email is not instant! If you want instant, you need a different communication channel.
That was my point as well, the concern being that "we" would lose the ability to send / receive sales emails from clients was the original driver for trying approach 1 and 2.
Email being hosted by Microsoft means we should in theory not even need a local exchange server, but we have federated services for SSO.
If you have Federated services already in place then that makes it ridiculously easy to do SSO with Office 365.
Yet we're hosting half, and microsoft the other half. And we still have On-site Exchange (when we have an O365 account, and all email is hosted with MS)....
So many things that are setup oddly.

That's really odd... Is all the mail hosted with Exchange Online? Maybe you have some hybrid accounts? Or they are using the Exchange server as a mail gateways?

Right, that's what you do with ADFS, you host the authoritative server for your domain. Just odd you need an onsite exchange server at all.

My point is, if we have hosted exchange, why do we need to redirect everyone to an internal server, and then back to Exchange Online..
Seems backwards.
Let people authenticate directly to Exchange online. This hybrid setup just makes things complicated for no gain.

May be worth investigating. It may be there for a good reasons, or it may be something silly like locally hosted calendars (don't ask) that they think can't be moved to Exchange Online.

Kind of in the same boat here with the hybrid deployment. Last IT guy coudlnt figure out why the network and servers were becoming unavailable multiple times a day(dude worked here for 1.5 years, didnt do a thing as far as i can tell). So he decided to go O365 and Exchange Online. He paid the money for exchange online, got a hybrid deployment setup, then didnt work here anymore. Didnt migrate anybody to use Exchange Online.
I was then hired, i fixed all the local network issues.
Our Exchange online sub expires next week, really trying to decide whether to renew this sub or not. It is a few thousand dollars to renew. Just doesnt seem worth it since Exchange is locally running without issues. -

And patch management and software updates are taken care of for you.
