I resolved this issue by

  • placing the User account in an OU that is not synced to the Office 365.
  • Force replication and AAD sync
  • Disable the mailbox On-Premises with the disable-remotemailbox command <ExchangeGuid>
  • Place the account back to the origin OU
  • Force replication and AAD sync

At this moment the user account has a nemly created empty mailbox.

At this point we are going to use the New_MailboxRequest cmdlet to restore the (soft deleted) original mailbox to the newly created mailbox.

#To find the ExchangeGuid of the origin soft deleted mailbox :

Get-Mailbox -SoftDeletedMailbox <identity>| Fl Name,ExchangeGuid

#To find the ExchangeGuid of the newly created mailbox :

Get-Mailbox -Identity <identity>  Select-Object UserPrincipalName,Name,ExchangeGuid

#Start the Mailbox restore

New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceMailbox “<ExchangeGuid softdeleted mailbox” -TargetMailbox “ExchangeGuid new mailbox” -AllowLegacyDNMismatch

#Folluw up

Get-MailboxRestoreRequest
