Mail enable a migrated security group in 365
Hello,
We migrated our office 2013 exchange server to 365. We have AD SYNC enabled and the security groups are in sync with the cloud. Is it possible to mail enable an existing security group using the 365 gui interface?
Boe Dillard you need to reach the "Attribute Editor" Tab when you open an object in AD
First you need to enable Advanced features view by selecting "View" option from top left corner of AD and select Advanced features, afterwards you need to reach the group by selecting it from the OU where it is based, not from search feature from AD, as Attribute editor tab is not appearing using search
Once you open an object from OU you will notice a new tab called Attribute editor where you can see a lot of attributes, look for proxyAddresses and add SMTP:address@yourdomain.com , do not forget to add SMTP: -> primary email address
Hope this helps!
Hi Boe Dillard
I did not find such an option in O365 GUI, but as workaround you can change from AD onprem the security group to Universal and then add the email to the email field and be sure to add SMTP:address@yourdomain.com to the proxyAddresses attribute.
Afterwards run Start-ADSyncSyncCycle –PolicyType Delta in Powershell
Or set the security group to universal
Open Exchange management shell
Execute Enable-DistributionGroup -Identity "GroupNameGoesHere"
Run Start-ADSyncSyncCycle –PolicyType Delta in Powershell
Hope this helps!
Pavel_lV Thanks - I've changed it to universal in the AD users & Computers on the On Prem Server. I've done the sync.
No idea where to add the email address.
