Two AD accounts, need to have same email
If you are talking for just strictly login then no.
Curious on the use case scenario?
- I have a need to have two accounts in the Admin Console using the same email address.
1) User Account - Normal email account
2) Domain Account - Need to only get the communications from Microsoft and notification on capacity alerts in the environment. We do not allow user accounts to be admins of the systems so we create appropriate accounts for job responsibilities. This account does not have an email account today and I do not want to maintain two email inboxes.

If there is a better way I am all open ears on this 🙂 Creating the DL and making my normal id the owner worked, thanks.
Hello bvi1998 , can you please provide some examples on how you did this? I am in the same situation that I have been requested to send out emails to users for passwords that are going to expire in 14 days. However, our IT Technicians have two accounts. One for STANDARD use and one for PRIVILEGED ACCESS. The privileged access account does not have an email box. Therefore the script cannot send to that address. We are using Azure AD Sync and will not allow two objects to have the same value. IE. Two AD Accounts having the same EMAIL Address. Thank you in advance.

Hi dgolan , I have the same practice and am in need of solution. Just wonder if you have found one?

Thanks Chris.
I am running an app to check when the password will expire for our systems accounts. The app would check the email of that systems account and email the user how many days they have left. I have no way of modifying the application, so my alternative is to script it with PS which I prefer not to do. The DL might work, I'll give that a shot, thanks. I'll report back.
