Error message:
The operation on mailbox “John” failed because it’s out of the current user’s write scope. The action
‘Set-Mailbox’, ‘HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled’, can’t be performed on the object ‘John’ because the object
is being synchronized from your on-premises organization. This action should be performed on the object in your
on-premises organization.
How to fix it:
- Open Active Directory Users & Computers.
- Enable Advanced Features by clicking View > Advanced Features.
