Exchange Primary SMTP error
Hi All,
I have run into an unusual issue here when creating new user mail boxes within the EMC (2010). For some reason when I create a new user mailbox for a new user and specify the actual orgainizational unit and enter in all the required info in order to create the mailbox, the end result is now always the incorrect Primary SMTP address and for some reason it is using the domain from a different OU even though I have specified the correct OU for the mail box in the during the setup.
Any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Adrian

Hi All, apologies for the delayed response I have attempted to createa user within AD first then search for the user with EMC still to no avail. I also checked the email address policy under the hub transport and all appears OK.
If you create a simple user and while creating a Mailbox in EMC and select existing user and work it will allow you to see all users in AD that dont have mailbox :)

I managed to get around this issue by performing the following.
Just go to the properties on the mailbox, then click email addresses, then untick the box that says “automatically update email address” then you can manually add the address@company.com.au in and set it as the default SMTP address.
