Thanks Michael - any ramifications? I've never entirely understood X400 but that's the obvious difference between the policies for the two sites.
I guess I don't understand why users in Site B should get an X400 address that refers to Site A? Thanks, Paul From: Michael B.

Neat freak I guess. I did some scouring and using "%rAa%rBb%rCc%rDd%rEe%rFf%rGg%rHh%rIi%rJj%rKk%rLl%rMm%rNn%rOo%rPp%rQq%rR r%rss%rtt%ruu%rvv%rww%rxx%ryy%rzz%g...@mira.co.uk" in the recipient policy sets the email address to all lower case first.l...@domain which is good. Next thing, we have two sites (back from the good old days of 5.5) and from when we migrated I have two recipient policies of priority "Highest" that were auto-generated. Each has a filter that means it applies to one site i.e. "(&(mailNickname=*)(legacyExchangeDN=/O=ORGNAME/OU=Sitename/*))" As well as SMTP address types each has an X400 of "C=GB;a= ;p=ORGNAME;o=SiteName;" Where Sitename is obviously the name of the site that the filter relates to. I've read this http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2005/04/20/403953.aspx and I'm not sure if I can simply delete these additional policies or not? From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:mich...@smithcons.com] Sent: 15 August 2010 04:36 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Recipient Policy & Default SMTP Address? [a] Not by default. And why do you care about the alias/mailNickName? [b] Yes. %g...@ourdomain.com <mailto:%25g.%...@ourdomain.com> . Exchange will not reapply a policy unless you tell it to. If you really care about the fine details of account information, you should write yourself a script or application to do your user provisioning. That is the supported method to ensure that non-default values are applied. Regards, Michael B.

We're on Exchange 2003 and I have some questions about recipient policies, something I've never been entirely comfortable with as I've never been sure at what point clicking OK/Apply will go off and generate/alter the email addresses of everyone in our company. So, I have a "Default Policy" with a filter of "(mailnickname=*)" which has and X400 type, and an SMTP type of @ourdomain.com If I create a new user called Joe Bloggs, we set the alias to Joe Bloggs (it default to JoeBloggs) and the account is created with an SMTP address of "JoeBloggs<at>ourdomain.com" which we then have to manually change to joe.bloggs<at>ourdomain.com. Can I set policies to: a) Default the Exchange alias to Joe Bloggs rather than JoeBloggs b) Default the SMTP address generated to joe.bloggs<at>ourdomain.com without Exchange modifying/generating additional addresses for any existing accounts?
