set external smtp adress as primary
Hi experts,
I'm using a custom made script which imports contacts in AD.
After the import I can see the contacts in Exchange but the e-mailadresses are set as external smtp adresses. Is there a way with powershell or gui to set external smtp adresses to primary smtp adresses? I can do this manually by copying the external smpt adress, choose add and then smtp and choose paste. I receive a notification “the object must be upgrade to the current Exchange version. After the upgrade the object cannot be managed by an earlier version….” Unfortunately I have to this for 3000+ contacts.
I already used this command to upgrade all the contacts to Exchange 2010.
Get-MailContact -resultsize Unlimited | Set-MailContact -CustomAttribute1 Update
But now I still have to find a quick way to set the external smtp as primary.
Please help!
Kind regards,
Lennaert van der Meer

You can try below.
$Contacts = Get-MailContact -resultsize Unlimited
foreach($contact in $Contacts){
[string]$ExternalSMTPAddre
Set-MailContact $contact.Name -PrimarySMTPAddress $ExternalSMTPAddress
}
$Contacts = Get-MailContact -resultsize Unlimited
foreach($contact in $Contacts){
[string]$ExternalSMTPAddre
Set-MailContact $contact.Name -PrimarySMTPAddress $ExternalSMTPAddress
}

I found the solution but Rancy pointed me to the right sites to find it.

Thanks for your quick reply but I looks like your solution is just the other way around.
I need to set my external smtp adress as primary. Instead of my primary as external.
