Office 365 - Dir Sync & No exchange

[Wubbalubbadub]

Evening all,

 

Ok so I have completed my move to Office 365 for all my users.

 

Im happy with it to be honest and its so nice to not have to worry about the exchange server.

 

However I do have a question, WHAT THE FLIP IS UP WITH HAVING TO USE ADSI EDIT!!

 

Seriously? Why can't i be able to edit mailboxes online in Office 365 portal?

 

Anyway ranting aside...

 

Does anyone know any Office365 management tools? / or a tool to help with ADSI edits?

 

Also does anyone know of any plans Microsoft might have to allow editing exchange properties with dir sync?

With regards to exchange properties with dirsync - if you extend your schema with exchange then you can edit the attributes and dirsync will update them quite happily in Office 365.

 

With regards to making edits, I have a couple of Powershell scripts which I use but they need a lot of tidying up, otherwise rather then using ADSI Edit, I use the Attribute Editor to make changes which is slightly prettier I think.
