I just got something through my thick head - there is a compelling reason to leave the LegacyExchangeDN the same when moving a user's mailbox: - when a mailbox is moved, there is no need to update the Outlook profile. Outlook automatically updates its own profile and finds the new server. That's a great feature of Outlook/Exchange that we have been enjoying all along. - Outlook profile "remembers" the mailbox's LegacyExchangeDN. If the LegacyExchangeDN is changed, Outlook will not be able to automatically find the moved mailbox and someone will have to manually reconfigure the profile.

Rather, it is probably a bit of deferred work that has been assigned a fairly low priority. There are a lot of ugly compromises in any complex product. -----Original Message----- From: Andrey Fyodorov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 3:01 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Free/Busy confusion I have partially answered my own question - it has to do with the LegacyExchangeDN. I guess when a user gets moved from one server to another his/her LegacyExchangeDN does not change, even if the servers belong to different administrative groups. And it seems that LegacyExchangeDN determines which Free/Busy system folder that user is going to use. Is this a good design on Microsoft part? -----Original Message----- From: Andrey Fyodorov Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 4:41 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Free/Busy confusion I have Exchange 2000 with multiple administrative groups. A bunch of mailboxes have been moved from a server that belongs to one administrative group to a server in another administrative group. It seems that some of these mailboxes "want" to continue using the Free/Busy system folder on the old server. And if that old server is not available, they get the error that their free/busy info cannot be updated. So I have to make sure that they can reach the old server or replicate the free/busy folder from the old administratice group to the new server. Is this weird or what? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
