Automated Hybrid Troubleshooting Experience

One of the more popular deployment options for Office 365, and more specifically Exchange Online, is the Exchange Hybrid Configuration. This deployment option gives customers a way to move some of their mailboxes to Exchange Online, while keeping some on-premises.
