Hi,
I have Azure VM domain controller setup which uses Azure AD Connect for O365.
I have set the attribute in AD.
Confirmed via Powershell.
Yet, I'm seeing no changes in O365 Exchange admin portal and I can't figure it out :( Does anyone know what I'm missing?

Hi,
See the last (bottom) comment in this thread about extended properties for AADC to sync.

Hope this helps. Ash
Make sure the user has the mailNickname/alias attribute populated in AD. Most of the AAD Connect rules responsible for Exchange-related attributes have a scoping filter requiring the mailNickname/alias attribute to have a non-null value, otherwise they will ignore the object.
Other than that, check for any sync errors. You can follow the instructions here to troubleshoot the sync flow: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/tshoot-connect-object-not-syncing#connector-space-object-properties

This was our answer-- the nickname attribute was blank and as Vasil said, AAD ignores the msExchHideFromAddressLists field, even though it was set to $True.

adding the mailnickname to ad attribute worked.
Thanks everyone for their feedback. The Spiceworks reference link has been very useful.
