Creating users without mailbox

Hi all,   I want to create users without creating a mailbox and instead using an existing mail address. It is possible by guest users. But my users should be real users but from different domains....
mailbox

    Hi FlorianKurrle,

     

    Ok, so you have an OnPrem Domain and an AAD Domain.

    The AAD Domain is named *.onmicrosoft.com, right?

    No Custom Domain entered. No AD Connect build up.

     

    With this, you will not be able to enter the OnPrem Domain Mail Address to the AAD User. The Mail Address that is entered needs a Custom registered Domain, that is what you don't have. So all your users would only be able to use a *.onmicrosoft.com Mail Address.

     

    Kind Regards, Peter

Hi FlorianKurrle,

 

Do we speak about Guest Users or AAD Users?

When it is about Guest Users, you do not need to create a Mailbox, as they are guests and also maybe don't need a license, so they alöso don't get a Mailbox created.

When it is about AAD Users, created on your tenants AAD, you can exclude the Exchange Online Plan, when assigning them a license, so they won't also get a Mailbox.

 

You can also create a Contact mailto:mike.myers@friday.com, as friday.com is your tenant, and let this one forward to the original mail address mailto:mike.myers@saturday.com.

 

Hope this helps, otherwise please provide some more informations about the scenario and case.

 

Thanks & Regards,

 

Peter
