Changing mail id in Exchange 2013.

Hi,

This exchange only for the intranet. Users can't send or receive mail from outside. Also I don't want to create a new domain or rename the existing one. I want to remove the existing from user@ABC.com to  say user@test.com.

Hi,

you still need to add new accepted domain for test.com, since that is the way exchange works. If there is no accepted domain for test.com, then exchange will never receive email for it. Since it is used only internally, then just add new accepted domain, test.com, create new email accepted policy that will apply to all users with exchange mailbox, and there you go. After that go to email address policy and remove existing one, that is created for abc.com.

Hi ,

Just to clarify as per your advice no need to create a new domain separately . Just need to go to the ecp of Exchange 2013--Mail flow--accepted domain--type any name.com here it will be test.com that's all.

I am new to the server world that's why a bit confused.

Hi ,

That's good. I will try to perform as you said for one of the users. Then will keep you updated.

Thanks a lot for your prompt help. Really appreciate you .

Also just wanted to point out that when you add your accepted domain and make it primary, your clients will automatically have the new SMTP address for @test.com. However all of the other email addresses from the old @abc.com domain will still be present on the users mailbox. If you want to remove these as well, i have created a script to accomplish this.

See the link below to my HowTo for removing single email addresses from mailboxes.

Hi,

Before implementing I want to test it. Is it possible to test it for one of the user only.
