Delete alias from synced user in Admin Center
I cannot edit or remove an alias with onmicrosoft.com domain in the cloud, because the user is synced with the local Active Directory. The alias is not available in “Attribute Editor” in Active Direc...
- To disable dirsync:
Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled -EnableDirSync $false
Once it's disabled, remove the alias via the admin center or Powershell, then re-enable dirsync:
Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled -EnableDirSync $true
You cannot, unless you disable dirsync/move the object outside of the sync scope. Another thing to keep in mind is that Office 365 enforces a policy requiring that at least one SMTP address matches the user's UPN (in other words if the domain part of the UPN is @tenant.onmicrosoft.com, you will not be able to remove the matching smtp address).
- The UPN is not with @tenant.onmicrosoft.com. If I move the user outside the sync, the cloud user will be soft deleted. How can I remove an alias from a deleted user?
- Disable dirsync first, then move it outside of the sync scope, to prevent deletion.
- Hi VasilMichev just a short question:
is it possible to add the onmicrosoft.com domain in the Active Directory, so that I can create new users in Active directory with this domain?
