On-prem Exchange needed for Azure AD Connected MS365 users with a mailbox?
We have an on-prem active directory with users synced to MS365 for their Office 365 logins. Works great. We used to use Zimbra for email, so no Exchange server in sight. We now want to add mailbo...
That's maybe OK for individual users who just have one mailbox with one email address, but you very quickly find you can't do basic things like aliases, groups, etc. Not only because you'll need to be comfortable in ADSIEDIT.msc, but you won't have the active directory schema extensions - this is a site that never had Exchange.
You don't need to use ADSI perse, you can change the attributes in users and computers.
You can just extend the schema, without installing Exchange.
