Re: Set AD User with External Email Address
I thought about leaving their workstations as is but since budget is very tight I dont have enough desks and equipment for both companies. Company A and B rotate coming into the office which in lies the issue. The machines at the office are for duel use which is why they were joined to 1 domain. The machines at home are still on their original domain. Either way the situation is not ideal but we have to manage going forward until things change and we can split fully again. That is why I was hoping there was a way to add their external email addresses...11KViews0likes1CommentRe: Set AD User with External Email Address
LainRobertson My apologies for the delayed response, been hectic at work with our consolidation. Let me help give more insight as to the current setup. Company A Existing On-Prem AD Existing AAD O365, no Exchange On-Prem Company B O365, no Exchange On-Prem Existing AAD no On-Prem AD, all in Azure I have a two-trust between both companies. We have Company B's users imported in Company A's AD to be able to login and reduce IT Overhead given they are both small companies. I have moved Company B's workstations into Company A's AD but not their servers in the cloud. I have setup a site to site VPN between both domains so users in Company B can still access their cloud resources. I do not want to add UPN suffix into the current AD environment as this will cause more headaches than what I care to have given this is a 1 man IT show. Besides if that was the case I would have to migrate SPO, O365, etc. which is a hard stop for me. The main purpose of wanting to add Company B's email address to the users account on Company A domain is to route emails for self service passwords and alike. Let me know if you need anything further clarified. I know it's a cluster but doing the best with what I got.11KViews0likes3CommentsSet AD User with External Email Address
I am setting up a co-lo for 2 companies in 1 office space. These companies are sister companies but infrastructure has been separated for legal reasons but we are converting into a hybrid office environment where Company A works 2 days at the office, then Company B comes in 2 other days to work in the office. Company B network will be the primary on-site and Company A will be cloud-based. I want to import users from Company A into Company B but instead of having Company B's email addresses I want to call out their email address so any emails will route to their Exchange Server. However, I am running into issues doing this.... If I set their email address as mailto:Email address removed in any of the following attributes email address, ProxyAddress, or mail it fails to route the email to their Exchange server. I ran a message trace on Company A and Company B to track down the email but it does not show on Company A's message trace. On Company B, the message trace says it was delivered. What I found was that Company B's domain assumes it is an internal route even though that domain normaclature does not exist. How can I call out the companyb\user email as mailto:Email address removed? There has to be a way to make this possible. I have a script setup to email users when their passwords are about to expire or MFA passcodes, etc. that creating a mail contact will not be the answer...
