Multiple emails per user account on Exchange 2010
Hey guys
I have a fresh install of SBS 2011 w/Exchange 2010 fully loaded and working.
The only thing is our old emails (on our old server) is firstname@domain.com.. our new emails (which are presently setup on Exchange 2010), are firstname.lastname@domain.
Now I'm trying to setup forwards to go from firstname@domain.com to firstname.lastname@domain.
What is the best way to do this? Should I setup all new mailboxes, then setup the forwards to point to the new ones? Or is there an easier way?

@CNS Support I have done it that way, and now I can only send to FirstName@domain.com - I want to be able to send to both of them...
@ShareefHuddle I will try this now and let you knoww..

Then you have set the new email address as the default.
You need to have both addresses listed and the default needs to be in bold. ie first.lastname@domain.

Yes it is set like that.. not sure what is happening.. I've tried it ShareefHuddle's way and still the same thing.
Cns Support? Hi how's it going?

I've just changed MX records 25 minutes ago could this have an effect?
ASKER
@ShareefHuddle - I removed all the old addresses, then ran your line code of EMS, now the 2nd addresses aren't appearing under SMTP Addresses - is this OK? Or should I go and manually add them in each user mailbox? I think the reason why it may not be working is because MX records aren't fully updated.
Not if they are both the same domain name and you receive one but not the other.
ASKER
Any other possible ideas on what could be happening? FirstName.LastName bounce back as no such address and FirstName works just fine..
On the OWA, it shows the email as FirstName.LastName

Hey guys,
I actually tried sending another one and now it's bouncing back again:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 No Such User Here" (state 14).
Any ideas? Possible still MX records changing?

But this is probably because the login names are just FirstName and when I add an account with th email of "FirstName@domain.com" it says the alias is used, I guess since I'm using it as a login name..
Any ideas?
