New Post: Hybrid Search to Office 365

Can AutoSP be extended to support the new Hybrid Search Service Application?

• Extend XML file with
• O365 Tenant Name
• Tenant Admin username
• Tenant Admin password
  
• Extend function PS1 with code for
  
• Install PreReq MSI files https://github.com/spjeff/office365/blob/master/office365-hybrid-search-cssa/Install-HybridSearchConfigPreqrequisites.ps1
• Create SSA with CloudIndex=True https://github.com/spjeff/office365/blob/master/office365-hybrid-search-cssa/CreateCloudSSA.ps1
• New function to "OnBoard" like https://github.com/spjeff/office365/blob/master/office365-hybrid-search-cssa/Onboard-CloudHybridSearch.ps1
  

Allows to create more Hybrid farms with connectivity to O365 from day one instead of needing to do those steps manually after.

Creating 100% local farms worked well from SP2013. With SP2016 we'll see many more hybrid farms which can benefit from having this connectivity part of the original base farm build.

Thanks!
