Here is the scenario – I had to remove 200 Mail Contacts and get them created as Mailboxes in 1000 User Environment. As soon as i delete the contacts its going to throw me an IMCEAX error, To Overcome this situation i had to export all them in advance, Had the X500 addresses ready, and Added them to the mailboxes created.

via Powershell

To Export the CSV –

 Get-MailContact -ResultSize Unlimited -OrganizationalUnit "Azure365pro.com/Emps" | Select-Object Name,Alias,PrimarySmtpAddress,LegacyExchangeDN | Export-Csv C:\legacyDN.csv 

Format the CSV into below format using Excel-

Name,Alias,PrimarySmtpAddress,LegacyExchangeDN
Melissa Melora ,Melissa,melissa@Azure365pro.com,X500:/o=HOSTING/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=5a186ad20a2b4aaeb44258a723a95054-Melissa Melora

Import it –

Import-csv c:\Scripts\legacyDN.csv | foreach { set-mailbox -identity $_.PrimarySmtpAddress -EmailAddresses @{Add= $_.legacyexchangeDN}} 

Name,Alias,PrimarySmtpAddress,LegacyExchangeDN
Melissa Melora ,Melissa,melissa@Azure365pro.com,X500:/o=HOSTING/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=5a186ad20a2b4aaeb44258a723a95054-Melissa Melora

$x

If you have this with an office 365 group – (In my case users on-prem with group writeback having this issue. So added below waited for group writeback to give out this value)

Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "test@localhost" -EmailAddresses @{add="X500:/o=NT5/ou=00000000000000000000000000000000/cn=CCE74E2284B1CF4CADDDDDD14FFDF9"}
