Hello all,
Have a question on the position of having a target address on a onprem DG on Exchange. This a Hybrid config, I know that users get stamped with this when they are migrated to 365, but I found some groups with this attribute. Not in their targetAddress Attribute but in their ProxyAddresses Attribute, is this normal? From my understanding when a DG receives email it will disperse the mail to all the individual email stake holder part of the group, and since they have a TargetAddress populated it will get redirected to their external mail address > 365.
Cheers
can you provide an example? Not sure what you referring to here. Thanks!

Hi @enricom911,
When the targetAddress is set, all emails sent to the recipient will unconditionally be forwarded to the mail address set in the attribute without delivering a copy to the user mailbox or sending it to group members.
In a hybrid setup, the targetAddress is used by design to forward emails from mail migrated on-premises users to their Office 365 mailbox. It’s often referred to as ExternalEmailAddress. And the TargetAddress attribute does not get synced, it is on-premises only.
Some related discussion about the question: When the AD attribute TargetAddress is synchronised to Office 365, where does it "go"?
