Hi, thanks for your suggested solution it solved my issue.

But I still need a way to create mail users since my coex tool can't handle free/busy request if they are mailboxes.

I have add value to this properties but it doesn't show up as a mail user in EXO.

proxyAddresses
targetAddress
msExchRecipientDisplayType = 6
msExchRecipientTypeDetails = 128

This article shows the fields syncronized https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized
