Configure Entra Connect

Entra Connect synchronizes on-prem accounts to Microsoft 365. This means when the two synchronizes, on-prem accounts will be created in Microsoft 365. If there are on-prem accounts and Microsoft 365 accounts beforehand that are not synchronized, this can cause issues. To resolve the issue, go onto AD DS and select attribute editor for these accounts. Go to proxyAddress and write “SMTP:<Email address of Microsoft 365 account>”. This will synchronize the appropriate two separate accounts.
