Populate local Exchange GAL with Offie365 users

[RabbieBurns]

Ive had a request to populate our locally hosted Exchange 2010 SP3 global address list (used for staff) with all the addresses of our students (Office365)

 

We are not federated with ADFS we just use DirSync to provision the accounts in Office 365.

 

Is this possible?

We done this adding the user as a contact in exchange with the following script run on EMS against the onsite exchange server. The students Office365 email address was used as the remote routing address.

 

Enable-RemoteMailbox -identity $SamAccountName -remoteroutingaddress $EmailAddress

 

You can then add a Address list as well to point at the OU for the students.

 

We use DirSync

 

We deleted all the students from Exchange and then created them in the cloud from Scratch not performing any migration.

 

Of course I suggest testing with a user before roll out across the boardd
