This quote from MS Q319065 is what scares me. If you perform a rebuild operation, all proxy e-mail addresses are recalculated and all address list memberships are verified. Perform a rebuild operation if you make a change to organizational policy on SMTP addressing (for example, if you change from a .com to a .net location or if you change the DNS domain name). A rebuild operation may take several hours; Microsoft recommends that you perform this operation only when the network is quiet

Why am I scared all of a sudden? -----Original Message----- From: Greg Eytcheson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 7:16 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: New accounts not showing up in GAL I just changed the primary SMTP email address of one of my users, waited until it showed up as changed in ADUC and then ran the Recipient Update Service "rebuild". The address I changed was not affected, was not changed to a secondary and a new "default" address was not created for them. I cannot speak to what may happen in your environment, but in mine, running the rebuild option didn't screw anything up. Note: I did not try changing a public folders' address, but I doubt it would be any different from a user object. I'd say back that baby up and give it a try :-) Greg -----Original Message----- From: Varghese, Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 8:51 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: New accounts not showing up in GAL Yeah those won't be affected. But I have a lot of addresses where the user account is Thomas Smith, but the SMTP was changed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also distribution lists and public folders that have SMTP addresses that are different then the display name. Won't these get changed?

I tried the update now but that didn't work. As for rebuild.. I'm a little concerned. Does this stamp all the user accounts with new SMTP addresses because we have made some custom entries and modified a couple to have slightly different smtp addresses then what was the default stamp. Would all these get undone?

If you find a better solution, please let me know.

I'm trying to track down why we are not seeing accounts in the GAL. I can't see any event errors on the exchange server or DCs pointing to replication issues.
