Hello,
I would like to extend my Active Directory schema for Office 365.
I need to modify the attribute msExchHideFromAddressLists, but I use my local AD to synchronize to Office 365 with AADConnect, and I never had Exchange on-premise server.
I found some discussions like this one : https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_o365admin-mso_dirservices/how-can-i-add-... or this one : https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Office-365/Adding-Exchange-Attributes/m-p/187420#M12580.
But I don't want to take any risks in doing so. What is the danger of doing this?
Is the update schema in AADConnect is long?
I'm a little bit afraid to extend my schema and that nothing work after that.

There's always a risk, but using the Exchange setup to do this is painless, reliable and fast, so just go for it.

@Vasil Michev thanks for this information. Do you know how long the schema update in AAD take?

Depends on your AD infrastructure, but usually it's very fast, minutes.
