The question nobody dares to ask! How do you create a new user in a hybrid environment.
Hi, the last couple fo days the question how to create a new user in a hybrid exchange environment is floating around in my head. Most of the time when i create a user i create a onpremise accoun...
The best practice is whatever works for your user management workflows. You can create it either way. In a hybrid you can move mailboxes back and forth whether they were created on-prem or in the cloud.
One caveat with New-RemoteMailbox is that it can't do Shared mailboxes. Those you need to create on-prem and then move, or, create in EXO as a user mailbox and then convert to Shared. Either way, same result.
I'm with Paul, Vasil and Nuno :-)
Just a hint: if you create the mailbox in EXO, the ExchangeGUID is not present on the object and if you want to offboard the mailbox, this value has to be set manually.
