How to Promote an SMTP Address in Exchange 2007
In SBS 2003 it was very easy to promote a new SMTP address to the primary role in AD Users and Compters under Email Addresses tab. In SBS 2008, not only is the Email Address tab no longer in AD Users and Computers, but in the tab in ESM 2007, it does not give you the option to change the primary SMTP address. Can someone please instruct me as to how to accomplish this task.
