    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.
