Exchange On Prem / Exchange Online / AADConnect - attribute difference
Hey everyone --
In my environment we are running Exchange Hybrid - only for management. All of our mailboxes live in O365. We are running AADConnect on prem for directory sync.
I have a user that was recently created - and their last name was initially spelled incorrectly.
We have gone back and fixed the spelling problem, however, in Exchange Online - the smtp (lowercase) attribute is still showing the misspelled name. On Prem however, it is correct. Shouldn't AADConnect take care of this? Is there anyway that I can fix this manually? I don't believe it is causing any problems - just an inconsistency that I am afraid somewhere down the line will get in the way of something.
Example:
Correct Spelling: Eric Ryan, email is eryan@domain.com
On Prem: smtp is eryan@domain.onmicrosoft.com, SMTP is eryan@domain.com
In Cloud: smtp is eryann@domain.onmicrosoft.com, SMTP is eryan@domain.com.
Thanks
Steve

- I just ran a Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial -- and also -- went into Sync Services and ran the Full Sync profile. Still seeing the misspelled @domain.onmicrosoft.com in the cloud under the proxyAddress attribute.
Yeah, that address isn't actually synced up, it's generated from something and exists on o365 side only, i have this exact problem currently on my test domain so I'll see if I can figure it out and get back to ya ;).
- Was the UPN / login name also incorrect and updated? If so you'll need to run a command in azuread side to update the login name!
- Yes - UPN has been corrected. The only difference I can see is the smtp @domain.onmicrosoft.com attribute
- that should be based off the "alias" attribute on prem. The default policy I believe is based off that attribute like it was for onprem. So go check your alias.
