Exchange 2016 - Problem adding users to Send As or Send on Behalf
The picker controls have limits, and search doesn't always work great there. Just add the permissions via PowerShell?

Sorry, no offense to you but I really hate that response. MS codes a crappy interface, so now we are all expected to use the command line for what should be a VERY basic task.
One of my (many) issues with Powershell is that at this company they do that Red Forest(?) architecture. For me to access the Exchange server I have to first RDP to a Jump Station. From there I RDP to the App Tier Jump Station, (using a different ID/PW with VERY complex PW requirements) and do the 2FA. From there I RDP to the Exchange Server. All of these operate on a 10 minute time out so basically I have to redo this entire thing every time I need to do the simplest operation.
Or I can go to the EAC website in Chrome from my desktop, which bypasses all of that, and have Chrome auto remember my super complex PW for me. Since none of the jump stations or exchange servers can access the internet with a web browser, by the time I have typed up this response my RDP sessions will have timed out and I'll have to redo the whole RDP thing again.
UGH. Why can't MS just do a semi decent job of programming the EAC???

I'm simply giving you a solution, if you think complaining on a site where no one from Microsoft actually looks is a better one, be my guest 🙂
