Been googling but maybe my fu is fading with age :)
1. create user in AD with alias of FirstinitialLast name (JDoe)
2. AD complains user alias already exists (it does) so modify to use
FirstinitialMiddleinitialLastname and that goes through (JMDoe for Michael) and
this sets both alias and pre-2K alias
3. Go in Exchange and create mailbox, use existing user, select new account
4. When it is all done user has three addresses (have three policies) and all
end in "2"
Address book policies:
%1g%s
%g.%s
%m <--default
With the above description that comes out to:
jmdoe2@
john.doe2@
jmdoe2@
Now, I understand why the first two policies append a 2: to the policy it does
indeed look like a duplicate. But the third policy using alias (%m) should not
happen as that has already been modified during the AD account creation and
guaranteed unique (or AD would not have allowed creation).
Any ideas?
