Question

Hello,

We have an AD-Connect server that syncs up our AD user accounts to Office 365.

After we create a new user account, we ususally edit a Saved Queries in the on-prem ADUC, and go to the Attribute Editor and update the proxyaddresses attribute before we sync the account to the cloud. For some reason, I do not see the proxyaddresses anymore after the user is created.

My colleague is able to see the attribute on his computer. I have doublechecked advance features is enabled.

If someone knows, please advice where to check.

Thanks.

Hi,

Can you see the attribute in ADUC? Or the value is not set?

Based on my knowledge, the issue occurs because:

The vaule of the proxyaddresses attribute is not set.
The proxyaddresses attribute is disabled.

So we can check as follows:

Check if the option show only attributes that have values of the filter is unchecked, like this:
Check if the “isMemberofPartialAttribute” is set as “True”, like this:

For reference: To Enable Proxy-Addresses Active Directory Schema Attribute.
