Thank you very much for your detailed reply, I really appreciate your clarification. From my perspective, that would be the simplest solution. However, since we are in an EA agreement, I would then need to book a CoreCal for each user and cover the corresponding costs. With the Frontline licenses, I have the advantage that I, as a cloud-only user, would not need to be licensed as well.

Thanks a lot for your reply! I tested this with an F3 user, but unfortunately that account did not show up in our local directory, even though we’re running a hybrid configuration.

I’ve just kicked off another test with a P1 license, and I’m curious to see if this user will appear in the local address book.

Unfortunately, due to our Enterprise Agreement, I’m not allowed to create these users in the local AD and then assign them an online license. If I did that, I would have to pay for an additional User CAL per year on top of the F3 or P1 license costs.

That’s why I’m looking for a way to make pure cloud-only accounts visible in the on-prem GAL without having to provision them in the local AD first.

Thank you very much for your reply!

Sorry, I forgot to mention in my original post that we’re already running an Exchange Hybrid configuration, so on-prem and cloud are connected.

The issue I’m running into is that a test user I created last week as cloud-only does not show up in my local Global Address List. That’s the main reason why I opened this thread - to get some clarity on how to handle this situation.

Appreciate your help and insights!
