AD Connect - ProxyAddress deleted
Hi all, We setup our users in AD. Set their email and upn to match - john.doe@company.com We also set the proxy Address attribute to SMTP:john.doe@company.com This creates the user. syncs ...
DaithiG if you are syncing to Azure AD using AD connect, it is not supported to manually edit Exchange related AD attributes. Exchange using a number of attributes, not just proxyaddresses, and none of these will be set correctly if you are doing i like that. Manually setting the proxy address is also prone to error especially if adding aliases.
That said, what you are doing should work, and many people do it this way. There is long running debate, but you should know this is not a supported configuration by Microsoft.
You should set up at least one Exchange server on prem in order to create remote mailboxes correctly.
For Office 365 plans you get a free Exchange Server Hybrid Key: http://aka.ms/hybridkey
