Update: I bounced my Exchange box and my three main DCs (not all at the same time) after waiting about 3 hours. Here's what I did notice though.
I got into adsiedit and poked around at the users and noticed that the msExchPoliciesIncluded attribute wasn't set. So, once I grabbed the string from a different user, I'd hoped that I was out of the woods, but then looked at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328738 and couldn't find the msExchReplicateNow attribute. After going through all of the attributes, and seeing that msExchPolicyEnabled was empty and was a Boolean value, I threw false into that and waited a few minutes and it worked. Of course, now that I'm writing this to you and testing it again, everything's working as normal. Mucho thanks to everyone -- I need to remember to chill and remember what I usually do when something's not working -- reboot the box. Again thanks!

As someone else pointed out here, you can bounce the Information Store server service and things will move along faster. But then again, do you really want to knock everyone off the server just so they can have a new e-mail address? John H.

I’ve known that it could take just a little bit of time (15 minutes generally at the most) for the AD account to replicate to the server that RUS runs against, but then the e-mail addresses specified (for me the SMTP, CCMAIL, MS, and X400) in the Recipient Policy should generate the e-mail address at that time. I created the accounts about an hour and a half ago and the e-mail addresses still haven’t populated. I’ve gone into ESM and told the Recipient Policy to apply now with no luck, then told RUS to update now, still with no luck, and now I’ve told RUS to rebuild, no luck yet, but if I believe the warning message it can take several hours. I’ve checked the logs on my Exchange server and there are no errors (save a couple of NDRs and a pair of MAPI session issues earlier in the day). I’ve also checked the logs on my domain controller that RUS runs against and there I don’t see anything in the logs that indicates that I should be having this issue. Does anyone have any ideas for next steps on troubleshooting? ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~ ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
