Re: unable to change the default email address for an account

I don't quite follow you. If you clear the box, the recipient policies don't
update the user properties.

I'm not quite sure why your default policy shows a priority of 0, or even if
it's a problem. Mine shows a priority of 'default', with the custom having a
priority of 1. (I think, I should check ;-0)

Hi Les


I cleared 'Automatically update emails according to recipient policy' box.
It works. It didn't update default email as I mentioned before. This time
I visually see it changes and doesn't change back to what it was.

I reviewed my recipient policies again
Here is the results
Default policy:
Priority: 0
SMTP emailformat: @domain.com.au
New policy:
Priority: 1
SMTP email format: %g%1s@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

It just doesn't make sense to me...Anyway, I will be onsite tomorrrow to
check what will happen

It should work - I'd suggest undoing everything, especially the maually
entered email address in the user account - and ensure you haven't
de-selected the option to update the user email addresses via group
policy. I suspect there will be some kind of conflict if you manually
enter an address in the user account, and then try to also add it with
recipient policy.

If you can get it back so you just have the default recipient policy,
and then add a new policy it should work just fine. I do this on every
SBS.

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
