Hello,

 

Even using the Exchange Powershell I get an error but it is being synced with Azure AD Connect (formerly Azure AD Sync)

 

I have attached a screenshot of the error.

 

Thanks

Well I can see that you have Exchange on-premises. What primary SMTP address is set in Exchange? Are you able to change email address via ECP?

As from error message it says that you have to change this internaly, afterwards changes should be synced to cloud

    We don't use an onsite exchange server any more.

     

    I [solved] it by doing the following:

     

    ** - REMOVE USERS: (caution back up .pst offline emails first)

     

    1. Move the AD user on your local server into a No sync folder

    2. Sync the AD with Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta

    3. This will put the AD user on Office 365 into the recycling bin.
    4. Get-MsolUser -ReturnDeletedUsers

     

    Then permanantly delete the user:


    5. Remove-MsolUser –UserPrincipalName user@mycompany.com -RemoveFromRecycleBin

    6. Move the AD user back into the SYNC folder and force a sync

     

    ** - FORCE SYNC NOW

     

    7. Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta

    8. Check the Office 365 Portal > Done.

     

    Thanks for your assistance.
