Hello bvi1998 , can you please provide some examples on how you did this?  I am in the same situation that I have been requested to send out emails to users for passwords that are going to expire in 14 days.  However, our IT Technicians have two accounts.  One for STANDARD use and one for PRIVILEGED ACCESS.  The privileged access account does not have an email box.  Therefore the script cannot send to that address.  We are using Azure AD Sync and will not allow two objects to have the same value.  IE.  Two AD Accounts having the same EMAIL Address.  Thank you in advance.

Hi dgolan,

 

could you please rephrase your Q? If an account hasn't a mailbox, how can you send an email to it?

    I think that is the point. Say AD sans exchange uses Duo for 2fa.  Duo requires that you set up email with each admin account.  So user has UPN mailto:Email address removed for email (mailto:Email address removed) & such, + 2nd account w./ UPN mailto:Email address removed , and no email.. 

     

    OP needs to make mailto:Email address removed an Admin for Duo, which has syched from AD/AAD.  Duo also requires an email account for said user. Can the email from ITUSER be duplicated on ITSupport in the email field?
