Step 1: Verify that you own the domain
The first step is adding and verifying the domain in your Office or Microsoft 365 tenant. Since you will need to create email addresses for your users in the Office 365 environment, the on-premises domain must be added and verified before you can initiate the migration process.
Follow these steps:
Sign in to Office or Microsoft 365 with your work or school account.
Go to Settings and choose Domains.
On the Domains page, click Add domain to start the domain wizard.
Type in the domain name (e.g., contoso.com) you use for your on-premises Exchange organization, and click Next.
Select TXT record for domain verification. The TXT record is typically chosen to verify ownership.Verify Domain
After you add your TXT, wait approximately 15 minutes before proceeding to the next step.
In the Office 365 domain wizard, click Done and then Verify Now, and you’ll see a verification page.
Next, select I’ll manage my own DNS records. Do not continue to the next step in the domain wizard.
Step 2: Start the minimal migration
To start the migration, you need to sign in to your Office or Microsoft 365 account using global admin credentials on a computer that is domain-joined to your on-premises organization. Once you’re signed in, start the Exchange Hybrid Configuration Wizard on the Data migration page of the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Follow these steps:
In the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to Setup and then Data migration.Minimal Migration
On the Data Migration page, under Select your data service, choose Exchange.Data Migration page

Step 3: User provisioning
On the User Provisioning page, select the Synchronize my users and passwords one time (Recommended) option, and click Next.User Provisioning pageAt this point, you will be prompted to download and install the Azure AD Connect wizard to synchronize your users from on-premises to Office 365.
Once Azure AD Connect has downloaded, run the program, and choose the default options for Express settings.
After synchronization is completed, you will be taken to the Office 365 Data migration page, where you can see all users who were synchronized to Office 365. This will be a one-time synchronization, and it will be turned off for your Office 365 tenant.
Step 4: Assign Office/Microsoft 365 licenses to users
After Azure AD Connect synchronizes your users and their passwords to Office 365, you’ll need to assign Office 365 licenses so your users will be assigned cloud mailboxes to which their on-premises mailbox data will be migrated. The status on the Data migration page should indicate that a license is needed, as shown in the figure below.
