Setting email aliases in an Office 365 AD-synchronized environment

article #992, updated 2760 days ago

At least initially, one must:

  1. Load up adsiedit.msc,
  2. Find a user object,
  3. Get its properties,
  4. Click on anything in the list,
  5. Press P on the keyboard,
  6. Scroll to proxyAddresses and edit it,
  7. Set the primary address as SMTP:email@domain.com (note the caps in the prefix),
  8. Set all alias(es) as smtp:email2@domain.com (note the lowercase prefix!).

In some environments, a new tab appears in ADUC which means you don’t have to go back to ADSI Edit, but this is not always the case.
