Hello,
I convert my domain to Fedaration Domain and I want to add new technical address during migration phase but apparently I cannot add other address on SyncAD account :
- My federation domain is contoso.net
- I create subdomain o365.contoso.net
This account jean.dupont is ADSync Account on contoso.net
- My primary address is : jean.dupont@contoso.net
- I want to add technical address during migration phase : jean-dupont@o365.contoso.net
when I save my configuration I have this error message:
If I understand this message, I need to add secondary address on my AD account because this account is an ADSync Account so my question :
To do this operation I need to update my AD Schema with Exchange 2010 Schame ?
Thx
Matthieu
Hello Matth,
1) If you want to add that address you need to add it in your on-prem AD. This means editing the proxyAddresses attribute, which you do not need the Exchange schema for.
2) If you want to fully manage your users on-prem, you'll want to add the Exchange schema, as you can then control a variety of Exchange only attributes, like msExchHideFromAddressLists.
3) You can add the Exchange schema to your on-prem AD whenever you'd like, whether or not you plan on using an on-prem Exchange server. There's no charge and you don't need any licenses.
Hello Matthieu,
You do need to have the Exchange schema extensions in order to fully manage your on-prem users. However, in this case, you just need to make sure you've added your o365.contoso.net domain to your Office 365 subscription, and then add that new address in your on-prem Exchange environment by adding it as a new proxy address for the account. Once you do that, it syncs up to the cloud and adds that address as a new alias for the account.
Hello Alexander,
ok So in conclusion if I want to add new other address I need to add this address on my account on my on-premis site and sync it. But if I don't have Exchange organisation in my on-premis site I need to update my AD schema with Exchange, but one question if I update my Schema what happening with Exchange Licencing ?
Good thx for you answer :)
Just little Add-in ;)
For people who want to add other address on AD on-premis Sync Account you need to add in your on-premis account attribute proxyAddress:
stmp:jean.dupont@o365.contoso.net
Thx Alexander for Attribute name proxyAddresses ;)
I believe you mean the plural: proxyAddresses.
For the play-by-play:
1. Open ADSI Edit
2. Open the properties for the account of interest
3. Make sure attributes that have no values are not hidden
4. Edit the proxyAddresses attribute
5. First add the value for the primary address: SMTP:matt.meredith@hulu.com 6. Click Add
7. Add the value for the secondary address: smtp:matt@hulu.com
8. Click Add
9. Click OK, then Apply
10. Start DirSync (Start-OnlineCoexistenceSync)
11. Go to the Exchange Management portal, and you should see the secondary email.
Sorry, yes proxyAddresses ;)
