MS Teams in Cross-Tenant synchronization
Facing the same issue. Has anyone been able to find a solution or been given an estimate from MS on this?
From my testing the only way to make this user-friendly is setting the 'showInAddressList' attribute initially to false in the cross-tenant mapping and manually creating a Teams Contact for the external account. After that I can set the attribute to true to have the guest user show up in the GAL (for Outlook) but when searching in Teams the first in the list is the manually created External contact instead of the guest account.
Hardly a practical solution as its not scalable (need to create contacts for each synced user on each individual Teams user) and no guarantee this works long term as I've seen all sorts of search results after hours of testing various configurations.
