Problem:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You have 10 licenses in Office 365 and the boss is asking for 15 users to have emails setup that forward. Boss also didn’t authorize the purchase of 5 additional licenses.<\/p>\n

Bear in mind, the solution will only work if the idea is that you forward to an external email address.<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to Office 365 Admin Center<\/li>\n
  2. Click on ADMIN > Exchange<\/em> (near the bottom)<\/li>\n
  3. Click on Recipients<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. Click on Contacts<\/em> near the top<\/li>\n
  5. Click on the plus and Mail Contact<\/em><\/li>\n
  6. Fill out the info, I like to put External for the last name as a point of reference<\/li>\n
  7. At the top, click on Groups<\/em><\/li>\n
  8. Click on the plus and Distribution Group<\/em><\/li>\n
  9. Put in the Display Name, Alias, Email Address<\/li>\n
  10. Scroll down and add the Contact as a group member under Members<\/em><\/li>\n
  11. Save<\/li>\n
  12. Edit the new group (click on the pencil)<\/li>\n
  13. Click on Delivery Management<\/em> on the left<\/li>\n
  14. Change the radio button to read Senders inside and outside of my organization<\/em><\/li>\n
  15. Save<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This has to be done, per user. So repeat the process for every new external contact you want to send to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
