harveer singh Thanks for your input.

I know you can go through the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/active-directory/overview?view=azureadps-1.0 module, (or I guess https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/active-directory/overview?view=azureadps-2.0 of it), but that also requires new admin roles permissions, scripting, testing, etc.

What I'm trying to figure out is:

Whether there is a way around this limitation (make it work in Exchange)
Whether Microsoft has issued any notice for this change which is impacting our work-flows (out of curiosity, since I guess it won't help me much to know).

Hey dgr4it

AFIK Set-user is the only exchange command which would allow you to make the desired change, What is interesting though is I was able to update the phone number/mobile phone number via the new Exchange admin center https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com/ using an Exchange Admin account (worked for me; please test in your tenant). So theoretically it looks like the attributes are still available for update via exchange. May be for the time being you can use the new Exchange admin center to make the changes and get a ticket going with MS to confirm the changes around set-user. Lets see if Vasil can find something.

Thanks
