When creating a remote mailbox for an on-premises user, Active Roles creates an Azure user entry for the mailbox in the Azure tenant where the remote mailbox is stored. The Azure user entry of the remote mailbox is listed in the Azure > <azure-tenant-name> > Azure Users node of the Active Roles Web Interface, and its name takes the value of the Name attribute of the remote mailbox.
You can view or modify the Exchange Online settings of the remote mailbox with the Exchange Online Properties action of the Azure user entry of the remote mailbox in the Active Roles Web Interface. Changing these properties is typically required if the user mailbox is affected by an IT infrastructural or organizational change, or the personal information of the user has changed.
NOTE: Although the on-premises user also has an Exchange Properties action when selecting it in the Active Roles Web Interface, you cannot use that action to modify the settings of the remote mailbox assigned to the on-premises user.
To modify the Exchange Online settings of a remote mailbox assigned to an on-premises user, always use the Exchange Online Properties of the Azure user entry of the remote mailbox instead.
To view or modify the Exchange Online properties of a remote mailbox
-
In the Active Roles Web Interface, under Directory Management > Tree > Active Directory, navigate to Azure > <azure-tenant-name> > Azure Users.
NOTE: <azure-tenant-name> is the Azure tenant storing the remote mailbox.
-
Select the Azure user entry of the remote mailbox you want to view or modify, then click Exchange Online Properties.
