  • Hi Marvin, to use your own custom domain you may add it in your Active Directory under Active Directory Domains and Trusts and make sure that when you're creating a User in Active Directory, you select your own custom domain. Also, please check if your own custom domain is configured and verified in Azure AD.

  • Hi Marvin,

     

    The UPN field doen't synchronise to email address, so it's creating the default SMTP. You'll need to set the Primary SMTP Address on-premises, then synchronise the objects across.

     

    Add 'SMTP: User@contoso.com' to the 'ProxyAddress' attribute in Active Directory.
