Any customer thinking of migrating to Office 365 should use the O365 Deployment Readiness Tool as a prerequisite.
It is a “must” to run this tool to gather information about your platform if you are thinking of moving to Office 365. It checks whether your platform is ready to make a move to the cloud and if not, it will point out the steps to be taken to make your platform Office 365 ready.
The tool does the following assessments:

RAJITH,
It looks like this link was taken down. Any chance of where it could now be found or downloaded? Thank you!
Hi Elle,
This tool is no longer available.
Hi Rajith,
what is the difference between microsoft online services directory synchronization tool vs microsoft office 365 deployment readiness tool. I’am so confused. Can you give me a hint?
Best Regards
Nobby
Hi Nobby,
The sync tool is to synchronize your AD objects into Office 365 using Azure AD Connect, while the deployment readiness tool is more of a checklist of what needs to be done to make the move to Office 365.
The former one is a tool that actually syncs your object whereas the latter is a planning tool.
Thanks
