OK, I got the recipient update service to run, but that didn't turn out to be a good idea at all. Our email addresses are mostly custom addresses they don't have any fixed format. I ended up with additonal SMTP addresses [EMAIL PROTECTED] The same are also set in the mail field (E-mail field on the General Tab).
I scripted to add the [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and set it as the primary addresses. I scripted also to reset the mail field to to the same (E-mail field on the General Tab) however the default policy keeps setting it back. What can I do so the default policy doesn't mess up my email names? thanks Uso ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Crowley [MVP]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 25, 2003 7:55 PM Subject: RE: Bulk set of primary smtp address > It seems as if your Recipient Update Service isn't running.
