@Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "Test O365Group" -EmailAddresses: @{add="SMTP:test.o365@abcd.com"}If I use that command, I get the following error:
There are multiple primary SMTP addresses. Please ensure there is only one primary address for each address type."- John GregorySep 11, 2018Copper ContributorOld thread but I had this issue and couldn't see the answer here.
The solution is: you need to use lowercase "smtp" rather than "SMTP".
Uppercase "SMTP" indicates the primary email address. - Yahkoob AyappallyOct 19, 2017Brass Contributor
Hi John,
Steps to change Office 365 group Email address:-
Current SMTP address :- test.o365group@abcd.onmicrosoft.com
Required SMTP address :- test.o365group@abcd.com
Follow the below steps in power shell using Global Administrator Credentials,
1. Connect to Exchange Online via Power shell using Global Administrator Credentials and run the below commends. First two command run separately.
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
Start-service winrm
Import-module MSOnline
$UserCredential = Get-Credential
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $Session
Connect-MsolService -Credential $UserCredential2. Run the below command to add required SMTP address as an alias.
Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "X" -EmailAddresses: @{Add ="Y"}
here X is the Display Name of Office 365 group and Y is the required Email ID.
Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "Test o365Group" -EmailAddresses: @{Add ="test.o365group@abcd.com"}
3. Promote alias as a primary SMTP address,
Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "Test O365Group" -PrimarySmtpAddress "test.o365group@abcd.com"
4. If not required, you can remove first ID using below command.
Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "Test o365Group" -EmailAddresses: @{Remove="test.o365group@abcd.onmicrosoft.com"}
Please note, For updating the Office 365 group SMTP address required Global Administrator access.
