1 TopicInvite Contacts as Guests feature - Updates Not Linked?
Love the new feature with Roadmap ID 15043 that lets us add Exch Online Mail Contacts as Guests to O365 Groups. I'm a little confused on how you expect us to manage Mail Contacts going forward though. Adding Mail Contacts as Guests to an O365 Group appears to create a new AAD Guest User object. When I update the Mail Contact (say, I need to change their last name or email address) the AAD object doesn't update - I have to manually go into AAD and update the Guest User's info. There's no reminder in the Exchange Admin console that you'd have to do this. You can imagine how much a nightmare this can be if that Mail Contact is the member of 20+ O365 Groups and you forget to take the extra step of updating their AAD info as well as their Mail Contact info. Is the solution here to stop managing contacts in Exchange and manage everything using AAD Guest User objects going forward? Or will there be the option to sync Exchange Mail Contact info with AAD Guest User info in the future? We're trying to go all in with O365 Groups but this is adding some unnecisary overhead to managing our clients.Solved2.4KViews0likes5Comments
