Thanks for the assistance to both of you. I will review the link.
We definitely will have the AD first -- due to the fact that this must be migrated over from Netware.
However, there is some important information in the existing O365 since it also predates this project.
This is the key piece I am trying to locate a defined procedure to complete the migration in the correct order.
It's critical to capture and migrate the O365 info to the AD BEFORE anything can be lost due to the first Federation or DirSync.
Any further help will be greatly appreciated.
