My issue is similar to one previous post. One user's Teams chat email is wrong. I checked AD, Exchange On Prem and Online (A hybrid environment), and found and changed the wrong SIP address in ExchangeOnline. 3 days later, both wrong and correct chat email addresses are still showing on Team's contact. Azure's IM address is also showing the wrong address.

Run the Powershell suggested by some experts here with anotehr post:

Connect to Microsoft Teams

$credential = Get-Credential

Connect-MicrosoftTeams -Credential $credential

Get the user's SIP address

Get-CsOnlineUser -Identity "user@domain.com" | Select-Object SipAddress

Update the user's SIP address

Set-CsUser -Identity "user@domain.com" -SipAddress "sip:newaddress@domain.com"

Confirmed that the SIP address is still wrong, however the Set-CsUser command giving me error: Set-CsUser: A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name "SipAddress".

Any other suggestions? Or the sync will take much longer than 3 days?

    @Robin Sheng-MSFT. Thanks. I sorted it out later.

    Just want to put an update here for others having the same issues. The solution for me is to edit in AD through ADUC.

    1. Open ADUC and go to the user's properties.
    2. In the Attribute Editor, check the value of msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress to ensure it's set as expected.
