I'm working off of Microsoft tenant to tenant migration preview as found here to move all our user email to a different tenant: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/cross-tenant-mailbox-migration?view=o365-worldwide
And I'm up to the step where I need to enable mail-users on the new tenant but nothing I have done so far has worked. I've been trying to use New-MailUsers to create a new external email address linked to the new user accounts but get an error that the proxy address is already in place so I have tried using the Set-User <identity> -PermanentlyClearPreviousMailboxInfo but that just says that it completed but nothing was changed.
I do have the new users created on the new tenant, and a couple of them are already licensed for mailboxes but the above does not work for either licensed nor unlicensed users.
Do I need to delete the user accounts completely and then try using the New-MailUsers to setup the external email address link for the new account? Or is there some step I'm missing somewhere?
Trying to make new mail enabled user
Trying to remove mailbox settings
The PowerShell error says that there is already a mailbox with that SMTP.
When you assign licenses, new mailboxes get provisioned. You need to remove everything, set up mail users with an exchangeGUID first, and then assign licenses.
From the article you referenced:
Users in the target organization must be licensed with appropriate Exchange Online subscriptions applicable for the organization. You may apply a license in advance of a mailbox move but ONLY once the target MailUser is properly set up with ExchangeGUID and proxy addresses. Applying a license before the ExchangeGUID is applied will result in a new mailbox provisioned in target organization.
I'm in a bind with Azure login account. I've forgotten my password for my account that I use for a client's DevOps. It wasn't until I ended up created another account today to troubleshoot the problem that I might understand the issue, but still can't fix it.
About a year ago, my client added me as a Guest in their Active Directory. I did not have an active directory myself. I got the notice from Microsoft in an invite email to get started, which created an account to get access to their Azure Portal and DevOps. I've been logged in for a year, but was trying test a feature which required me to login to DevOps during the process. I tried what I thought was my password, but that didn't work. No problem, I'll just click on the reset password feature. That ended up informing me that "password reset isn't properly set up for your organization." Knowing who setup my account up, I ask them to reset my password. The response was we do not have control to reset your password because you're a guest.
Through several discussions, and seeing what was available to them, and how a Guest was set up, it was suggested to setup an account within Microsoft for the email. I did that, and when I went back to try and login to their portal, I was presented with two options after I entered my email address. There was a work account and a personal account. Both with the same email address. The work account indicated it was created by "your IT department". Which we did not create this, it was a result of the client adding us as a guest, then finishing the process to gain access. So I can only assume, either an active directory was created for my domain, or I was added to a generic active directory.
In either case, I still can't change the password for the work account, and researching has not helped, as it keeps resetting my personal account.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
Here is what I'm currently seeing.
Thank you,
Marc
You don't have an AAD tenant. So I assume that your account is an Microsoft personal account.
Although you are added as the guest user in your client's tenant, the password management is not handled by that tenant. It is still handled by Microsoft personal account.
You can reset your password here: click on Sign In, enter your account and click on Forgot password?.
I am doing the Azure fundamentals course and require the sandbox environment to do the course.
But despite refreshing the page a hundred times( following the instruction from the troubleshooting page ) I see the same error.
`Email is required to activate a sandbox
Your Microsoft account must be linked to a valid email to activate a sandbox. Go to Microsoft Account Settings to link your email and try again.`
Not sure why I am seeing this error as I am already logged in.
Any ideas that might help?
In my case the email address was verified, yet I still had the same issue.
Here is what I do to make Azure Sandbox work:
Log out from https://learn.microsoft.com
Log out from https://account.microsoft.com
Log in using email address on https://learn.microsoft.com
in my case, long ago, I created the account with an alias when I signed up for skype. Recently I added the #outlook.com email.
I fixed the issue by login using the email #outlook instead of my skype login.
I was also facing the same issue. This was working for me a few months back. Also my account alias seems to be verified since there is no "Verify" button against it on the "Manage how you sign in" page.
I had created the Microsoft account with a username and email id(alias) logging in with the email id solved this issue. This check for email id must have been added recently, because I'd run the sandbox with my username login multiple times in the past.
Hope this helps!
It seems that you haven't verified your email address linked to your MSA.
When you sign up for a Microsoft account or add an email address to your account, a request will be sent to that email for you to verify. To finish the process, just follow the verification link in the email. If you need a new verification email:
Sign in to Manage how you sign in to Microsoft.
A Verify button will be next to any unverified aliases.
Click Verify next to your email address, and then click Send email.
See details here.
It used to work for me too, until it didn't.
This helped: https://learn.microsoft.com/answers/questions/7694/sandbox-activation-failing-1.html
Essentially, what worked for me was to go to the Profile (click the icon at the top right of the page and click "Profile"), under "Settings", add my email address to the "Email for notifications" field.
Then make sure to log out and then back in and try again.
Navigate to Profile
Click Settings
locate "Manage your email preferences", enter your email address and press save.
Retry and it should work. At least it did for me
I had this same issue when working on some Azure training courses.
When I try to activate the sandbox, I get the error:
Email is required to activate a sandbox or lab
Your Microsoft account must be linked to a valid email to activate a sandbox or lab. Go to Microsoft Account Settings to link your email and try again.
For more information, please check the troubleshooting guidance page.
Here's how I solved it:
The problem was that I was logging in with my username instead of my full email.
So instead of my-username#outlook.com, I was using the username my-username.
All I had to do was to log out from https://learn.microsoft.com and https://account.microsoft.com
Afterwhich, I logged in to https://learn.microsoft.com/ with my email which is my-username#outlook.com
This time everything worked fine.
That's all.
I hope this helps
Just Sign out yourself, and Sign in using your email address. it will solve the issue.
Make sure you have linked your outlook email.
If its already linked then log out from MS Learn and try login again.
Here: https://learn.microsoft.com/
It worked for me.
I just ran into this problem.
I had added an outlook.com email alias to my account and set it as the primary.
No matter how I logged in, be it the new outlook.com address or my original hotmail.com address, I would get that error.
Setting my original hotmail.
When I try to add a user with a login that's a regular email address like john#gmail.com, I have the following message on the right:
'gmail.com' is not a verified domain name in this directory
I want them to be able to authenticate without a name like 'john#MyApp.onmicrosoft.com'. I read an answer that said this isn't possible, but I can see gmail and outlook email addresses that someone else added (they aren't around). They are members, not guests. How do you add users like that?
Add Guest User is the button you are looking for.
It allows you to add users with any email address.
I'm having problem sending email alerts from a Discussion Board.
I've added all the work email to the Shared Service User profiles n SharePoint Central Administration area.
However, when I click on Alert Me I get the following error:
The following users do not have e-mail addresses specified: User Name. Alerts have been created successfully but these users will not receive e-mail notifications until valid e-mail addresses have been provided
Set my e-mail address...
Thanks to anyone who can help me...

Please check the email Ids to the users in the Active Directory
After changing the email Ids you need to do a user profile import in SSP
there is a timer job which sync user profile to site collection
