Graham, If I remember my E55 correctly - and I think I do - then the ALIAS in E55 has a one-to-one relationship with a mailbox. There can not be duplicate ALIASes in E55. I do believe that the same holds true in AD. This is easily proved out in the test bed. Assuming that you are going to setup a two-way ADC - you can assign which way you want the first replication to go. From Exchange to AD - or from AD to Exchange. And yes, ALIAS [in E55] does go mailNickname in AD.
I mean the entire process of putting up the ADC would be to insure that AD and E55 are working with the same information - until such time as you can remove all of the E55 components in the Exchange organization and proceed to a native mode of operation. Unless you are drastically changing your Exchange system - I can not understand why you would not want the E55 ALIAS in AD...
