Thanks.

 

The article doesn't explicitly describe our situation, where emails are contoso.onmicrosoft.com rather than contoso.com. 

 

I guess what I was asking was is our "contoso.onmicrosoft.com" situation the "standard out of the box" experience with Groups or not. The article implies emails should be contoso.com and describes how you leverage student.contoso.com and faculty.contoso.com - but does say anything about onmicrosoft.com.

Sounds like we need to improve our documentation (good feedback) but the same applies, using this cmdlets you can set the default to @tenant.com/your domain):
New-EmailAddressPolicy -Name Groups -IncludeUnifiedGroupRecipients -EnabledEmailAddressTemplates "SMTP:@contoso.com" -Priority 1

      Thanks for confiming and also for the CMDs and links. Looks like I need to talk to our email team.

        Are you on Exchange Online-only, or in Exchange Hybrid (with MX pointing onPrem)?

        I'm on hybrid and I can't get our custom domain to work with O365 groups at the moment.
