hybrid configuration wizard

About this tag
The hybrid configuration wizard is a tool used by Exchange administrators to set up and manage hybrid deployments between on-premises Exchange servers and Exchange Online. Recent discussions on WindowsForum.com focus on Microsoft's enforcement of a dedicated Exchange hybrid app in Entra ID, replacing the shared service principal to address a high-severity vulnerability. Key topics include the September 2025 enforcement window that temporarily blocks Exchange Web Services traffic, required hotfix updates for Exchange Server 2016, 2019, and Subscription Edition, and steps to migrate to the dedicated app. Additionally, cloud-managed remote mailboxes are introduced as a step toward retiring the last on-premises Exchange server, with the hybrid configuration wizard playing a role in enabling these transitions.
