Office 365 AD sync - Distribution lists for Office 365

We are using AD connect password hash only.

What is the best practice for Distribution lists for Office 365?

 

1. Office 365 AD sync - create distribution group from AD
2. Create distribution group directly in Exchange online

 

tnx

      Hey Brian, I have entered the DL information in Azure Connect in the Metaverse Search, and I have added the necessary attributes to the DL object in AD. The DL is still not syncing with Office 365

       

      Thank you

        you need to fill in the attributes on the object: displayname and mail

         

        Furthermore: I have another question as well.

        By default only internal (authenticated) senders are allowed to send e-mails to the distribution group. however, when you set it up like this, using on prem AD with Azure AD connect, external senders as allowed to send e-mail as well.

        After some Googling I found that there is an attribute you can set as well: msExchRequireAuthToSendTo

        However, I don't see this attribute.

        Any ideas? You can't change this in O365 since it's a an on prem AD synced group.

  • Hi Marvin Oco,

     

    Are you using Exchange Hybrid ?

     

    If so you need to create the Distribution Group On-Premises and AD Sync will replicate to Exchange Online.
