Use this checklist to configure a hybrid deployment between an on-premises Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) organization and Microsoft Office 365 for enterprises. This deployment is achieved by configuring an existing Exchange 2010 server in your on-premises organization as a hybrid server.

Before you start working with this checklist, make sure you're familiar with the concepts discussed in:

This checklist is generic in that it provides guidance for a typical hybrid deployment scenario. For more customized step-by-step guidance about how to configure your Exchange 2010 organization for a hybrid deployment, see the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant.

Exchange Server 2010 introduces the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant, or ExDeploy, a Web-based tool that can help you with your Exchange deployment. ExDeploy asks you a few questions about your current environment and then generates a custom checklist and procedures that help simplify your deployment.
