legacyExchangeDN issue-the new one is probably different than both of the originals. This would probably be best served by adding X500 addresses to her mailbox to match the old ones.
The best way I've found to find the values you need if you don't know what the legacyexchangedn was before, is to find someone using Outlook and has a message that was received from the account before the problem (you'll need both in this case). Open the received message, right-click the from username to get properties. The address you need should be listed in here and can be grabbed with a cut-n-paste, as it can't resolve against the directory. Create a custom address (call it X500) on the user's mailbox and paste in the value from the old e-mails and it should start working. The format of the address you're looking for is something like /O=Orgname/OU=ADMINGROUP/cn=Recipients/cn=oldusername We don't make a lot of x500 addresses, but I also tend to create a disabled user account in a special place in our AD that matches any that I have to add manually (aka, "oldusername" from above). This way, if anyone tries to create a user down the road that matches a specially added X500, I don't have to hunt to find where the problem is. Just my 2 cents--YMMV -Bonnie From: Paul Everett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 8:55 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: recreating mailbox accounts I have a user who got married and changed her name. We created a new= AD User account with a new mailbox. After realizing that we needed to connect her old mailbox with the new User account we deleted both the new mailbox and her original mailbox in AD using Exchange Tasks. After they showed the red "x" on the mailboxes in ESM we reconnected her old mailbox with her new AD account and deleted (in ESM) the new mailbox account that was created when we created her new AD User. Then back in AD we created a new email account for her original User account (since the old mailbox for this User was reconnected to her new User account) so we could forward any mail from her old name account to her new name account. Now, any email getting sent from inside our Domain to either of the accounts don't get delivered. We get a 5.4.6 error when sending to the original email address and a 5.1.1 when sending to the new email address. She does seem to receive email to her new email address from my hotmail account. I hope this is clear. I'm a little dizzy just typing it. Is Exchange just working out the mailboxes because there are two mailboxes with the same name but different SID's? Is there a way to speed up this process? =20 Should I handle this situation differently? I know I shouldn't have created a mailbox for the new AD User if I was going to reconnect her old account.
