asked on hybrid Exchange 2013 / Office 365 - Mail enable a DL created in local AD
Hi all.
Im contracting for a company that uses hybrid Exchange 2013 / Office 365.
Still getting my head around setup.
All users and Groups are created on local AD, then ADConnect syncs them to Office 365.
We run "Enable-RemoteMailbox" for new users, however I am wondering if there a similar command to Mail enable a DL??
Or is it as simple as going to AD Object, Attribute Editor and updating Mail and ProxyAddresses attributes?
Cheers

As long as the security group is Universal, as mentioned, you only need to add an email address and proxyaddresses in Attribute editor and wait for the sync to occur. Running todd's command in Exchange Powershell should do that for you, but it would be advisable to specify the addresses the group will use rather than accepting what Exchange sets by default, since you may end up with addresses that could be longer than you want.
Correct, Adam.
By default, mail enabling a mailbox or group without specifying an email address (in my prior code sample) will create an email address based on the email address policy.
But by specifying an email address when enabling the group or mailbox, like this...
...it will disable the auto application of the email address policy for that specific group or mailbox.
