Can't add remote shared mailbox by using ECP into distribution group in Exchange Server 2019 and 2016 hybrid environment

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

In a Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 or Exchange Server 2016 hybrid environment, you use Exchange admin center (EAC) to add users into a distribution group. Additionally, into the other tabs inherent in a distribution group. However, if the user that needs to be added is a remote shared mailbox, the mailbox is not even available in the picker to be added. The same works fine when executed from Exchange Management Shell (EMS).
