While that script is nice, it doesn't do the tasks I need.
- Create MSOL user
- Set the distribution group(s) based on the department to which they belong.
- Create an additional E-mail alias because of a silly requirement that's been around since the beginning of time.
Have you looked at setting up Azure AD sync? It is a very quick process that will create the necessary users. You should then be able to set an alias as as additional email address in AD. It can also dynamically add people to distributions lists based on AD groups but that takes a bit more massaging.
I did a while ago, but the project was derailed due to [insert new #1 priority here]. It's on my list of stuff to do.
It would save you a lot of time creating a script and would be the MS "approved" way of doing it. Not to mention everything would then be automated meaning you would just have to create the user in one place, and would be a single master.
There will be some stuff to think through. I have about 25 users that are a part of local AD, and 225 users that exist only in Azure AD (Exchange online).
I'm curious, why have AD for those 25 users, but not the other 225? Could you move to another solution that would be more uniform for all?
Do it quick vs right + naive + no real power to make infrastructure decisions a couple of years ago. No excuse, but it's why. Not that this is a technical limitation, but the 225 aren't employees, but rather contractors who just need E-mail access. I'd want to think through what we need and actually do "it" right.
Do these contractors reimburse you for the cost of the licensing?

I'm sure they insert some ads when you quote a post, because that's how they do.

So if you want to start a new paragraph they intentionally strip that carriage return, why?

That's the issue though, I can't just hit "enter" as was possible before, now I either need to do "shift enter" or press "enter" twice.

Use a different browser? I never have that issue.

Possible, I do only use chrome though so I'd be surprised if the issue only exists there. . .

You have to hold CTRL while hitting Shift. For some reason, they like walls of uninterrupted text.

Yeah, it's a new paragraph but without a space between it and the one preceding it.

So instead of any other forum, you now have to press CTRL SHIFT ENTER to put in a carriage return . . . annoying. . . (much like the content on that site. . )
