Thanks, that is the conclusion I came to as well. I
am not 100% sure on what the impact would be changing the Legacy DN on Mail
enabled Contact objects. Programmatically via a script it appears
straight forward change "5.5LegacyDN"/object CN to "new 2K3 Admin Group
Legacy DN"/object CN
The main goal here is to get around a limitation that these
contacts are getting a recipient policy applied to them that is a legacy of our
5.5 installation. We still have a couple of 5.5 servers that will not go
away despite our best efforts, and as a result these contacts are getting
stamped with our default smtp addresses by the recipient policy/RUS. Since
the filter for the legacy policy is
(&(mailnickname=*)(exchangeLegacyDn=5.5LegacyDN)) They get caught, and there
is no way to change that filter.
I am Pretty sure I have found a formula that will
ensure I get Unique SMTP addresses for these contacts, so now All I have to do
is populate the desired smtp:proxyaddress and uncheck the attribute that
corresponds to Automatically update address based on Recipient policy on
the ADUC Email addresses tab.

Changing the associated AG would involve changing the
legacyExchangeDNs. This is a touchy thing as you want to make sure you do not
get any duplicates and can impact mail delivery since outlook likes to store
legacyExchangeDNs with messages.

Can anyone offer some
guidance on whether it is possible to script the change of the associated
Exchange Admin Group for mail enabled contacts? I have a large number of
mail enabled contacts that I would like to move from one Exchange Admin Group to
another without deleting and recreating them.
