An user has mailbox on office 365 with exchange online license , I Changed user name and all data of that user to other user , but after sync with on-premise server all data changed except alias name...

Do you actually need that alias? If so, then delete this smtp value and create new one using your real domain. Not onmicrosoft.com

You want the default SMTP address changes to match new user ? You would do this in EMC on prem. You can use ADSI edit to amend the SMTP value as well.

- Walid FawzyAug 14, 2018Brass ContributorI applied that step but not changed .
if you can , any other method ....- Adam OchsAug 14, 2018Iron Contributor
Check the Alias, Mail, proxyaddresses... You will need to make sure "Advanced Features" is checked.
Make sure under proxyaddresses you have an SMTP infront of the one you want.
If it still doesnt work, I would move that user account out of scope, run a dir sync, move it back in scope and run another one.
It will temporarily delete the mailbox, but restore everything as soon as the second dir sync is run.
