Hi All,
I'm hoping someone could provide some guidance and assistance with the preparation/update of email addresses, email address policies and address books.
Currently we ahvea n on-premise Exchange 2013 server and we are an education institution with staff and students. All staff have their mailboxes in the on-premsies Exchange server (to be migrated later) and students have all of their mailboxes in Office 365 (exchagne online).
Staff email addreses are name@domainname.edu.au
Student email addresses are name@student.domainname.edu.au
As the on-premise server was originalyl configured for staff only, there is just the default address book policy. This policy has the rulesalias@domainname.edu.au as well as alias@domain.mail.onmicrosoft.com
The on-premise Exchange server has been configured in hybrid mode and all student email boxes have been configured as 'remote mailbox'. The target address in active directory for each student points to alias@domain.onmicrosoft.com
What I would like some assistance with is:
1. The default Address Book Policy doesn't have the options to modify which users it applies. Currently it applies to all staff and students, therefore students are incorrectly configured with an email addressname@domainname.edu.au rather than
name@student.domainname.edu.au
Do I need to create two new address book polices, one for students, one for staff and then remove the default address book policy?
2. The student's are configured in Active Directory and sync'd to O365 with AAD Connect. The attributes in AD for mail and SMTP: showname@domainname.edu.au. As they only have a remote mailbox in Exchange, I need to edit the attributes within AD to change to the correct email address. I haven't been able to cretate a powershell script to modify all users in the Student OU to either remove the default incorrect email address and then add the correct email as default, or modify the default SMTP with the correct address.
3. I am also looking at sperating users into various Address Book Policies as per the Education example below. I know this references on-premise Exchange server, so I'm not sure if i would run the same commands via Powershell while connected to Exchange Online https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj657455(v=exchg.150).aspx
