Change primary SMTP address in Exchange 2010

Migrated from Exchange 2003 to 2010. In 2003 I could open up a users profile in active directory, view their email addresses and choose which one I wanted to be their primary SMTP by right clicking if I remember right.

In 2010 I don't have that option and need to change my primary SMTP address. It reverted to my username tsmith@domain.com when I've always had it set to one of my aliases as my primary SMTP so tom@domain.com for example. Not seeing a way to switch it back to this.

You need to change this in EMC - Exchange Management Console. I provided a link below that will show you how to do this.

Already read that, and my display name is already correct, so this article does not help.

No I only have a few to change, almost everybody in the org uses a first initial lastname email address except for a few that have very long and difficult to spell last names then they just go by first name only.

Going to look at this here in a sec as soon as I can bring up a remote session to my server.

When you go the EMC and email address tab, uncheck the box 'automatically update based on email address policy' to change the email address to what you want.

In the email address tab of the mailbox proeprties, is the address you want to be deafult bold?

Brett you got me to the right spot, but couldn't change the default address until JBond offered up that you have to uncheck that. Otherwise the option to "Set as Reply" on other email addresses is grayed out.
