Thanks Les
The Apply Now was grayed out somehow and I couldn't do that.
However, when I posted this thread, it has been more than 2 days since I've
done steps before. I think it should update anyway.It just doesn't like it.
That is why I feel so strange.

Do you have anything that is worth trying?

Cheers

Geoff

Oh, and right click the custom policy and apply it now (or refresh,
whatever
it gives you).

It can take a few minutes, also you may need to refresh the mmc view.
Sometimes, opening the user account properties will show the new/changed
address faster. You'd also want your custom recipient policy at a
priority
1, with the default policy shown as lowest, AFAIK.

Hi guys

I've entercountered a problem chaning default email address for an
account.

Server: SBS 2003 SP1 , Exchange 2003 SP2

This is what I've done
1.. Log on to the server running exchange server. Run Active Directory
Users and Computers.
2.. Navigate down to the user account.
3.. Open the properties for the user account.
4.. Open the "E-Mail Addresses" tab.
5.. Highlight the SMTP address that is to be the new default email
address.
6.. Click [Set As Primary]
7.. Click Apply. Click OK
But it doesn't change when I go back to double check.

Then I've done the something else

1. Go to ESM
2. Right clcik Recipient Policy--> New policy
3. Open the "E-Mail Addresses" tab
4. Add a SMTP address %g%1s@xxxxxxxxxx
5.Click OK ( Priority of the new policy is 1, default policy is 0)
6.Go to Recipient Update Service
7.Right click Recipient Update Service(enterprise
configuration)-->Update
Now
8. Right click Recipient Update Service(domain)--> Update Now

Still nothing changed.....Can anyone give me some hints please?

Thanks

Geoff
