Office 365 - Parent and child domains

[Dragon]

We have signed up to Office 365 and have synced our main users to Office 365, their log in is [email protected] However we have a child AD domain of admin.schooldomain.org and we want to put these users into Office 365 too. Not a problem but we want their logins to be [email protected] rather than [email protected]

 

Is this possible?

 

Alternatively, if the login had to stay as admin.schooldomain.org how do I make it so that their email address was [email protected] rather than the @admin.schooldomain.org address?

If you have the domains added into O365, doesn't it change the login based on their default email address in AD? (assuming you are using dirsync)

 

Seem to remember that's all I had to do when I moved from bham.sch.uk to our .co.uk address.....

The user's O365 login (username) can be amended by switching their UPN within AD. Likewise, the user's primary email address / aliases can also be modified from within the ProxyAddresses field.

Thanks, I have changed the UPN within AD already as our DNS name space was different from the external domain for the school. I change change this for the admin child domain but my other problem is some users have account in both domains with the same username. So I am not sure what will happen when there are clashes.

 

Is there no where I can add an alias for ALL the @admin.schooldomain.org users to be @schooldomain.org

You should be able to add an alias for all users by updating the ProxyAddresses field. A bulk change can be made using the likes of ADSI Edit or Bulk AD (but just be careful, they're powerful tools). With regard to clashes / duplicate entries, DirSync will fail with exceptions - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2647098
