The LRS accounts are synchronized with DirSync from the on-premises directory to the online directory in Office 365 Windows Azure Active Directory. Therefore, to move an LRS account, you simply disable the account in the on-premises Lync pool and enable it in the Lync Online pool. Note that the Move-CsMeetingRoom cmdlet does not work for moving an on-premises account to an online pool.

The Exchange resource mailbox account being moved from on-premises to online should already be enabled in the on-premises Active Directory.

  1. Run the following cmdlet on an account in on-premises Lync pool:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Disable-CsMeetingRoom –Identity confrm1

 

  1. Enable this account in the Lync Online pool as described in “Lync Online Provisioning” section.
