Issue is caused by orphan contact.

contact is listed in Azure AD but not reflecting in GAL or in contacts search.

how do we prevent this from happening?

Connect-MsolService

Get-MsolContact -all | where {$_.EmailAddress -match "mail@contoso.com"} | FL

Remove-MsolContact -ObjectId a62325c4-53h6-48c1-84f9-9b1987364c976 -Force

I created an external email contact and tried to add the contact to a Distribution Group. The Error would pop up. I waiting about 10 minutes and then proceeded to add the contact to the group. No longer getting the Error. This error is likely due to giving it a little extra time to sync after contact creation.

Same here.....just had to wait a bit before I could add them to the group....haven't come across this before so I was concerned at first....all good now!
Has anyone found a better solution than "Wait a little bit" for this issue?
I'm having to wait upwards of 4-6 hours after adding a Contact, before being able to put them in a group.
This is after all Microsoft and a little bit is about as accurate as they come. 4-6 minutes is pretty close to my assessment for it to sync. But yeah, if you have a better word for it, let me know.
I think you misread that. It's 4-6 Hours. Minutes I could live with. Just started a week or so ago ("or so" for all the Microsoft folks:-))
4-6 hours, that's not good. in minutes is my experience. Yes, I misread your post 🙂
