Hi !!

I have run some more testing. On the mailboxes that
failes, the homeServer propertie is not updated on the
Exchange 5.5 server. I don't now which of the AD connector
or the cdo object I user in the script is updating the
exchange database..

So I figure, could I update this property directly ?

I could need some advice :-)

Kind regards,
Katrin
