Scenario:
Both mailbox creation and deletion failure scenarios heavily involve verifying the current recipient type values across all directories.
Especially in a directory-synchronized environment. For example; if a user is listed on-premises as a remote mailbox with a cloud archive, then you should expect EXO (Exchange Online) to have a primary and an archive mailbox for this user. If it doesn't, then troubleshoot for a synchronization failure somewhere between on-premises and EXO (Exchange Online).
The three attributes you will be dealing with are the following, and there are many possible values for each:
- msExchRemoteRecipientType
- msExchRecipientDisplayType
- msExchRecipientTypeDetails

- msExchRemoteRecipientType
RemoteRecipientType (in PowerShell)
Note: You should only see the above value populated if the customer has a directory synced environment, and they either migrated a mailbox to the cloud or if they used new-remotemailbox command to provision a cloud mailbox.
