Hey guys,<\/p>\n
I recently setup Office 365 for my organisation. I’m still quite new to 365. This is a new AD domain with AD Sync. We have an old domain with email addresses that people still use and a new domain which will be the default.<\/p>\n
I basically need to add an address to each user as an alias for the old domain. I understand that I need to do this manually using the proxyAddresses attribute in the account properties. No problem.<\/p>\n
My question is as follows. By default this appears to be blank.<\/p>\n
I’m going to add SMTP:[email protected]<\/a> and smtp:[email protected]<\/a><\/p>\n Do I need to add the [email protected]<\/a> for compatibility or can I leave that out?<\/p>\n Currently even though the proxyAddresses field is blank Exchange online seems to have added the user to every domain by default. I’m assuming my change will override this?<\/p>\n Thanks, Office 365 will automatically create domain.onmicrosoft.com<\/a> email addresses for all user accounts. You can leave that out when adding the proxy addresses.<\/p>\n When you add the proxy addresses, AD sync will update the accounts with the new SMTP addresses. the domain.onmicrosoft.com<\/a> will remain on all accounts as secondary smtp addresses.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2015-07-20T07:56:16.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/modifying-email-aliases-in-office365-with-ad-sync/420656/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"inkmaster","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/inkmaster"}},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":" Hey guys,<\/p>\n I recently setup Office 365 for my organisation.
