Switch over to Office365 this weekend but may need to access non migrated mailboxes

Hi All,

Silly question I'm sure.

This weekend I'm intending to switch over to office 365 email. I'm doing this mail switch over before doing any migration steps from sbs 2011 standard to server 2019 standard. 

Just wanted to check if I will be able to connect to the office SBS2011 server using a computer with Office 2016 after I've done the following link below - I realise it is only dealing with autodiscover but I'm still dealing with a few old ex-employee mailboxes that I want to archive to pst.  The majority of mailboxes I have pre-migrated using Migrationwiz but obviously want to keep the cost down with their system hence doing a few mailbox to pst    

https://server-essentials.com/support/email-migration-from-sbs-2011-with-exchange-2010-to-office-365-and-autodiscover-settings-in-outlook

As I said, just want one computer to be able to connect to the SBS old exchange server to do this house keeping.  

Anything else I need to watch out for??

Thank you in advance

    I've done the autodiscover removal step https://server-essentials.com/support/email-migration-from-sbs-2011-with-exchange-2010-to-office-365-and-autodiscover-settings-in-outlook and restarted the server - All OK.

    I'm on some users desktops which are running Outlook 2013 and trying to create a new profile to look for the Office 365 system - however it joins with the exchange2010 internal server. 

    Any clue to what I have missed?
