This posts explains how to enable a hybrid experience in a SharePoint 2019 farm.

## Introduction

The SharePoint world is rapidly moving into the Cloud with SharePoint Online and Office 365, but some organizations are still not ready to move completely to Office 365 and SharePoint Online.

Upgrading to SharePoint 2019 that has support for a hybrid scenario can be a valid solution to allow a gradual move to the cloud.

A [hybrid scenario](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/SharePoint-Server-2019-Hybrid-What-do-you-actually-get/ba-p/327320) in SharePoint 2019 will allow you the following:

- Hybrid App Launcher
- Hybrid Sites
- Hybrid OneDrive for Business
- Hybrid Business to Business (B2B) sites
- Hybrid self-service site creation
- Hybrid auditing
- Hybrid taxonomy and content types
- Hybrid Business Connectivity Services
- Hybrid Search

## Enabling Hybrid Experience

To enable an hybrid environment in a SharePoint 2019 farm, you will have to follow the following steps in Central Administration:

- Select the “Configuration Wizards” option

- Select the SharePoint 2019 and Office 365 accounts that will allow the hybrid experience to be enabled. The Office 365 account must be of a global administrator. In the end, select the “Validate credentials” option so that both credentials can be validated.

- The Hybrid Configuration prerequisites are going to be validated. In my case, some errors were found.
