Good Day Rohit and thank you for your post
I have a similar issue but mine is referencing a GUID from elsewhere (Mailbox location when looking deeper into the mailuser from Exchange Online), the ExchangeGUID from both On-Prem and Online are identical
What could cause this and how can I resolve it
Thank you Jabu
