Assigning an smtp email address to an OU
I would like to assign/attach an email address to an OU that would act similiar to a distribution group. Simply put, I have OUs for each of my regions accross the world. When I add a new user object into one of these regional OUs I would like for it to automatically be receiving emails sent to that office.
I realize I could just create a distro group for that OU, but I am trying to automate as much as possible.
If it helps, I am using Active Directory with Exchange 2003.

Ok, the QBDG is out as we still have one old Exchange 5.5 server on our network (need to be running in native mode for the queries to work). I think that is exactly waht I was looking for too... bummer.
Any ideas as to where I could find a precanned script to accomlish this? My scripting skills are limited to modifying existing ones, not creating them.
Thanks for the input!

I'll help you do one of those, dead easy to write those for AD :)
Won't be a moment.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
You can't assign an address to an OU.
But, you could use a Query-Based Distribution Group with the base of the filter set to that OU. That would keep it nice and up to date.
Otherwise you'd have to script modification of the membership of a standard group on a regular basis, very easy to do if you don't want to play with the Query-Based lists.
