The question nobody dares to ask! How do you create a new user in a hybrid environment.
The best practice is whatever works for your user management workflows. You can create it either way. In a hybrid you can move mailboxes back and forth whether they were created on-prem or in the cloud.
One caveat with New-RemoteMailbox is that it can't do Shared mailboxes. Those you need to create on-prem and then move, or, create in EXO as a user mailbox and then convert to Shared. Either way, same result.
What i'm trying to achieve is to make the whole process automated
The user fields(properties) will be generated by a CSV file
1.Create the user in AD OU that is AD-Connected
2.force AD Sync
3.Assign License (by PS script) - we use only two types of license: Business Premium and E3
4.Send Notification to Admin that email account was activated.

Could you kindly share the script where you create the user in AD and force the dir-sync.

I posted my script in the following location because I used the OP's script as the starting point for my script. I have since added valuable functionality to my script and will be posting an update as soon as I take the time to remove all my company information from it.
