Automatically apply Addressbook policy

Is there a way to automatically apply a specific Exchange Online Addressbook policy (ABP) when new mailboxes are created? (Without running scheduled powershell)

  • Hi shnlnryn​ ,

    No, Exchange Online does not currently support automatically applying a specific Address Book Policy (ABP) at mailbox creation natively.
    You must use automation (PowerShell, Graph API, provisioning workflow, etc.) Microsoft 365 does not have a built-in policy assignment trigger.

  • You can use Graph API and Dynamic Group Membership, but honestly, scheduled PowerShell script is easier to manage and to create.

  • shnlnryn Sadly there doesnt seem to be a way to change the default Address book policy. 
    My best recommendendation would be too set up a powershell script that automatically changes the Address Book policy of the users on a schedule
