Hi Sean,

Thank you for the article. It is the most clear and concise that I have come across. I have followed all the steps but one seems to be failing and I would appreciate some guidance.

This is the error message when running Set-TransportConfig -AddressBookPolicyRoutingEnabled $true

Set-TransportConfig -AddressBookPolicyRoutingEnabled $true
Set-TransportConfig : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name ‘AddressBookPolicyRoutingEnabled’.

How do you add ABP to distribution group?

Hi Sean,

This is very useful, thank you. We’ve just ran through this exact scenario as our organisation has split into two companies but currently still share the same M365 tenant. All is working well, however, users can no longer see ‘Distribution Groups’ or ‘Contacts’. How do we go about creating two additional address lists (ie: New-AddressList) for the groups and contacts and adding them to the relevant Address Book Policy.
Also, how do we filter these new Address Lists so CompanyA only sees their groups and CompanyB just sees theirs? Groups and Contacts don’t appear to have the ‘Company’ attribute so i guess we’d need to use the UPN or something.

I tried this process on on-prem exchange 2019. No problem on OWA side but I am getting”cannot be matched to a name in the address list” error while defining the mail address in outlook

In reply to paul.

Hi Paul, I am new to OnlineExchange but you might want to look at this line. In theory, you might want to change the -Filter on Get-Recipient to include sharedmailbox.

##Assign ABP to users
Get-Recipient -Filter ‘(Company -eq “Contoso”) -and (recipienttypedetails -eq “usermailbox”)’ | Set-Mailbox -AddressBookPolicy Contoso

And change

(recipienttypedetails -eq “usermailbox”)

( (recipienttypedetails -eq “usermailbox”) -or (recipienttypedetails -eq “sharedmailbox”) )

How do you add distribution lists? They don’t seem to have the Company attribute used in your example.
