Have you tried using the PrimarySmtpAddress parameter?

    Hello Vasil,
    Thanks for responding!!
    But the -PrimarySMTPAddress switch would disable emailaddress policy which inturn clears the Remote routing address.

      I thought this was the whole idea? You can still adjust the remote routing address with the corresponding switch.

        The user creation in AD is automated. So primary SMTP is generated as Alias@domain.com, and Alias is Firstname.Lastname. If Alias exists a random number is added.
        So to automate user creation we were thinking to just add the enable-remotemailbox command after user creation in AD.

        Now you mean to say I should use following command:

        Set-remotemailbox -identity user@domain.com -PrimarySMTP Address user@domain.com -remoteRoutingAddress Alias@domain.mail.onmicrosoft.com
