Dear Exchange Team

I’m looking for a best practice for my organization about using both Active Directory and M365

We have a Domain Controller on-premise installed Azure AD Connector to sync all accounts on-premise to M365.
Besides, we have an Exchange Server 2013 installed Hybrid Configuration Wizard (HCW) to migrate all mailboxes from on-premise to Exchange Online. This is complete.

For now, I would like to decommission the Exchange 2013 completely. As current I have to maintain the Exchange Server with 1.5 TB its database, this is a waste of resource and it’s a lot of effort to maintain both environments like that.

I’m still using Active Directory to synchronize users to M365 and then creating mailboxes for them in M365. However, after reading many articles on the subject, I still haven’t found a way to create on-premises accounts for new employees, synchronize those accounts to M365, and then create mailboxes for them from Exchange Online.

Is there a solution for this case?

Thank in advanced!
