Create Remote Mailbox (Hybrid)

You can use the Create Remote Mailbox (Hybrid) activity to create a mail-enabled user in on-premises Active Directory and Exchange. An associated mailbox is also created in the cloud-based service (hybrid environment).

The following tables list the required properties, optional properties, and published data for this activity.

Required properties for Create Remote Mailbox (Hybrid)

Element Description Valid Values
Alias The email alias of the user and its associated mailbox in the service to be created with this activity.
The alias can be a combination of characters separated by a period with no intervening spaces. Don't use special characters in the alias.
String
Name Specifies the common name (CN) of the on-premises mail-enabled user and its associated mailbox in the service. String
User Principal Name Specifies a system user name in an email address format (for example, ed@contoso.com). String

Optional properties for Create Remote Mailbox (Hybrid)

Element Description Valid Values
Account Disabled Indicates whether to create the mail-enabled user in a disabled state.
Default is True, when selected.
True, False
Archive Indicates whether to create an archive mailbox in the service in addition to the mailbox that is created in the service by this activity.
Default is True, when selected.
True, False
Display Name Specifies the name that will be displayed in Microsoft Outlook for the mail user and its associated mailbox in the service. String
Domain Controller Specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory. String
Equipment Indicates whether the mailbox in the service should be created as an equipment resource mailbox. This property can't be set to True when Room property is also set to True.
Default is True, when selected.
True, False
First Name Specifies the first name of the new user. String
Immutable ID This property is used by GAL Synchronization (GALSync). It specifies a unique and immutable identifier in the form of an SMTP address for an Exchange mailbox that is used for federated delegation when requesting Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) tokens.
If federation is configured for this mailbox and this property isn't configured when creating the mailbox, Exchange will create the value for the immutable identifier based upon the mailbox's ExchangeGUID and the federated account namespace. For example: 7a78e7c8-620e-4d85-99d3-c90d90f29699@mail.contoso.com.
The Immutable ID property must be configured if Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) is deployed to allow single sign-on into an off-premises mailbox and AD FS is configured to use a different attribute than ExchangeGUID for sign-on token requests. Exchange and AD FS must both request the same token for the same user to ensure proper functionality for a cross-premises Exchange deployment scenario.
String
Initials The initials of the user that you create. String
Last Name The last name of the user that you create. String
Moderated By This property identifies the users who are responsible for moderating the messages sent to this mail user and its associated mailbox in the service. To designate more than one moderating user, separate the users with commas.
This property is required when the Moderation Enabled property is True. If this property isn't configured and a user is already specified as the manager of this mail user, the Moderated By property is automatically set by use of the Managed By property of the mail user. Otherwise, an error is returned.
String
Moderation Enabled Specifies whether to enable moderation for the mail user.
Default is True, when selected.
True, False
On-Premises Organizational Unit Specifies the organizational unit (OU) in the on-premises organization in which the new mailbox is added. This property has no effect on the mailbox in the service. String
Password Specifies the password used by the mail user to secure their account and the associated mailbox in the service. String
Password Confirm This property is used to confirm the password. String
Primary SMTP Address Specifies the primary SMTP address for the mail user. By default, the primary SMTP address is generated based on the default email address policy. If you specify a primary SMTP address by using this property, the command sets the EmailAddressPolicyEnabled attribute of the mail user to False, and the email addresses of this mail user won't be automatically updated per email address policies. String
Remote PowerShell Enabled Specifies whether the new mailbox user can use Remote PowerShell. Remote PowerShell is required to open the Exchange Management Shell or the Exchange Management Console on Mailbox, Hub Transport, Unified Messaging, and Client Access servers. Access to Remote PowerShell is required even to open the Shell or the console on the local server.
Default is True, when selected.
True, False
Remote Routing Address Specifies the SMTP address of the user's associated mailbox in the service.
If you've configured mail flow between the on-premises organization and the service, you don't need to specify this property. The remote routing address is calculated automatically.
String
Reset Password On Next Logon Specifies whether the password in the Password property must be reset the next time the user signs in.
Default is True, when selected.
True, False
Room Indicates whether the mailbox in the service should be created as a room resource mailbox.
This property can't be set to True when the Equipment property is also set to True.
Default is True, when selected.
True, False
SAM Account Name This is the sign-in name for clients and servers running older versions of the operating system. This attribute must contain fewer than 20 characters. An account name can contain letters, numbers, and the following punctuation marks and symbols:
! # $ % ^ & - . _ { }
~
Send Moderation Notifications Specifies how status notifications are sent to users when someone sends a message to the moderated distribution group.
Set this property to Always if you want notifications to be sent to all the senders.
Set this property to Internal if you want notifications to be sent only to the senders who are internal to your organization.
Set this property to Never to disable all status notifications.
The default value is blank.
The sender is always notified if the message is rejected by the moderators, regardless of the value of this property.
Always
Internal
Never
