Exchange 2013 Default Domain Change - Do new Outlook Profiles need to be created for all users?
Hi All,
I need to set a new accepted default domain for mail in Exchange 2013.
Once I officially set the new domain as a default and apply the email policies, will the users be able to send mail from the new domains using their existing Outlook profiles and will they have the new From address?
I know that if I create a new profile, the new address appears after setup and everything works but I would like to use the existing profiles. Some of the users have large OST files so I am not keen to create new profiles with new OST's.
Currently I find that users logging into Outlook use existing profiles, and the From address does not change to any other other (even though the default reply address has been changed in Exchange for that user).
Thanks in advance,

Hi Andy,
The Outlook accounts are of the Microsoft Exchange type so setup was a case of logging in with a domain account, typing in the users name in the Outlook wizard and this was automatically resolved to an Exchange account by Outlook. No POP or IMAP.
Does this change things?

Thanks. The reason I am unsure is because what I am experiencing is as follows.
Existing Outlook profile setup with email address todd@domainA
todd has addresses todd@domainA and todd.sodd@domainB in Exchange.
When todd tries to send a mail 'From' todd.sodd@domainB using the From drop down option, the outbound mail is undeliverable regardless of which reply address has been set in Exchange.
The only way todd can send an outbound mail as todd.sodd@domainB is by creating a new Outlook profile with the todd.sodd email address as picked up when the reply address has been set as such.
Am I right in thinking that changing the default accepted domain from domainA to domainB is not going to help here?

Usually changing the primary SMTP address for a user in Exchange would force their account to send as that address despite what is noted on the profile in Outlook.
If you've setup SMTP separately on the Outlook client (i.e. using POP/IMAP accounts) then this would need to be altered, but you should be able to do it on the same profile.
