Automatically configure mailboxes in Microsoft 365 based on a specific Active Directory attribute

If your organization uses a Microsoft 365 tenant and Active Directory users are synchronized in Azure AD with tools such as Azure AD Connect you can use this action to automatically configure mailboxes in Exchange Online after users have been synchronized in the cloud.

After the configuration is complete, activated and executed in the scheduler, the algorithm finds the mailboxes that meet the trigger conditions and then configures those without configuration and those that are configured with different parameters than those set.

NOTE: If you change the mailbox language, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours before the change is made in the tenant.
