Exchange Hybrid - GAL
Both Exchange and SfB will show disabled accounts, the don't differ I this regard and use the same attribute to "hide" a user.
As for address list, you can use the familiar Exchange cmdlets: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj983798(v=exchg.150).aspx
This is not what we are experiencing which is why I thought it had to do with AD Connect.
If I go to Outlook and go to Address Book, I do not see the disabled accounts in question.
Now if I open SfB and Type the name in the "find someone" search box the name shows up.
The account in question doesn't have a mailbox (neither on-premises nor online), I also checked the AD attribute msEchHideFromAddressLists which is set to TRUE
We observe this behavior for all our disabled accounts
Ah, I see. That explains it actually, Exchange address lists (including the GAL) only include valid Exchange recipient types, if the user doesn't have a mailbox (and is not represented by a mail-user object on-premises), Exchange Online will ignore it. I wrongly assumed you are talking about Exchange-related objects.
Would you know how to explain the difference between the Skype and Exchange Online contacts?
I am trying to understand how I could make that disabled accounts don't show up on Skype.
