Viewing or modifying the Exchange Online properties of a remote mailbox

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: When selecting an on-premises user in the Active Roles Web Interface, it also has an Exchange Properties action. However, 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, use the Exchange Online Properties of the Azure user entry of the remote mailbox.

To view or modify the Exchange Online properties of a remote mailbox

  1. 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.

  2. Select the Azure user entry of the remote mailbox you want to view or modify, then click Exchange Online Properties.

  3. In the available Exchange Online Properties tabs, configure the Exchange Online mailbox settings as you need.
