You can use the Active Roles Web Interface to create and enable a new Microsoft 365 contact.
To create a new Microsoft 365 contact
-
On the Active Roles Web Interface navigation bar, click Directory Management.
-
On the Views tab in the Browse pane, click Active Directory.
The list of Active Directory domains is displayed.
-
Click the domain in which you want to create a new contact.
-
In the list, click the required Container or the Organizational Unit.
-
In the Command pane, click New Contact.
-
In the New Contact <OU-name>-General wizard, enter the contact details such as First Name, Last Name, Initials, and Display name.
-
Click Next.
-
In the Create Azure Account Properties wizard, select Create Azure Contact.
-
From the Tenant, select the Tenant name.
-
In the External e-mail address field, enter the email address for the contact, and click Finish.
The Microsoft 365 account details for the new contact are generated automatically and populated in the respective fields.
NOTE: In Federated or Synchronized environments, Microsoft 365 contact creation is not supported. The contact is created in Active Roles and is synchronized eventually to Microsoft 365 using Microsoft Native tools, such as AAD Connect. To manage the Microsoft 365 contact through Active Roles, you must perform periodic back-synchronization to on-premise AD.
