Help! Importing X500 into Office 365 post 2007 migration
My Co-Worker has completed the migration steps to move a customer from Exchange 2007 (on old Windows Server) into the 365 platform which is fine however the customer is complaining that calendar appointments etc are getting screwed up. Turns out its because the X500 addresses are not in place.
My co-worker tried to import the X500 addresses as per these instructions:
http://zytelnetworks.com/kb/?p=273
However when we get to this bit it goes wrong
$user.EmailAddresses+=”X50
Powershell throws an error 'EmailAddresses' cannot be found on this object
I am sure its something really simple but I am very much out of my depth with this stuff so please treat me as a complete novice in your replies!
Thanks

Without the full steps/script, we can only guess. You can always add it manually. Here's an EE article on the matter: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Email_Servers/Exchange/A_9650-NDRs-and-the-legacyExchangeDN.html
The steps I followed to get to the error:
Firstly it was to complete the first phase via Windows Azure Powershell (running as admin):
1) Run powershell as an admin
2) $LiveCred = Get-Credential
3) $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic –AllowRedirection
4) Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
5) Import-PSSession $Session
That all worked fine so I then moved onto the next phase and starting entering these things:
1) Get-Mailbox bill
2) $user.EmailAddresses+=”X50
3) Set-Mailbox username –EmailAddresses $user.EmailAddresses
4) Get-Mailbox username | FL emailaddresses
The error I got was when I tried to copy the stuff in step 2 - I suspect I need to put something in place of EmailAddresses but I don't know what.

You dont have the $user variable set up at all. Step 1 should be:
And then all the cmdlets should reference $user. The article I linked to has proper examples.
$user = Get-Mailbox bill
