Sandra: The only way to move a user between containers in Exchange is to Export the user email, delete the user, create a new account in the target container, and import the user back in.....
I would: 1. set your current CA's to not replicate deletes both to and from AD\Exchange. 2. export users mail box 3. delete user in exchange 4. remove the "ADC Global Names" Value of the user in AD, otherwise the ADC will think this user already has an Exchange mailbox. You can do this if you are running SP2 by showing "advance features" click exchange tasks, and select "remove exchange attributes" Otherwise you need to delete all exchange attributes using ADSI, need to delete the email address as well. 5. re-create the mailbox on 5.5 allow the ADC to sync 6. import mail from the export also, make sure you make all your changes on the servers (AD and Exchange) that you CA's terminate on. I would suggest testing this in a test environment before doing it on a production user. Both the exchange accounts and AD accounts are stamped with "ADC-Global-Names" value, the ADC uses this value to keep the accounts in sync, if the value does not appear on an email account, the adc will use "primary NT account", if the "primary NT account either can not be found or already has email attributes (homeserver, homemta, email address, adc global names value, etc,) the adc will create a disabled user in ad.

Go into AD U&C on your and right click on the users/groups (whatever) and select MOVE. You should get a pop up window with the tree off you organization. Just click where you want to move them and you should be all set. Craig -----Original Message----- From: Salandra, Justin A.

I have the ADC configured between AD and Exchange and this is the current CA agreement I have in place Currently I have: Exchange Active Directory Recipients = Users, OU1, OU2, OU3 etc. This is the CA Agreement I want in place What I want to do now is Exchange Active Directory Recipients = Users Recipients1 = OU1 Recipients2 = OU2 Recipients3 = OU3 Any help would be appreciated, I am trying to avoid the possibility of new accounts getting created.
