Remote Mailbox Command

Question

Hi All

I am using exchange 2016 hybrid environment,

1. lets say I create user account in AD and i use the below syntax for remote mailbox creation.
   Enable-RemoteMailbox -id "user1" -RemoteRoutingAddress "******@mydomain.mail.onmicrosoft.com" -alias user1
2. In exchange 2016 ECP i can see the option Office365 mailbox, how do i create it from exchange onprem powershell. Please guide me with the syntax.
   

Whats the difference in both the steps i.e Point1 and Point 2. Are both the same ways of creation is there any difference.

They are the same thing, and the ”RemoteRecipientType“ of mailboxes they create is "ProvisionMailbox".

ECP help you create an AD account first, then enable remote mailbox for this AD account, you could think it as a script which looks like just need one step.

It is similar to creating a User mailbox in ECP, ECP will create AD account for you automatically.
