Everyone,
I have this script; see below, that will add/change a primary SMTP address. Id like everyones comment on it because it just seems too simple. We are thinking of adding a different
primary smtp address such as first initial, last name , other than the standard of 8 char to left of the @ sign.
Ive tested it ok on our lab exchange server and it worked.but like I said it just seems to simple.
Tiny..
Start-Transcript c:\temp\mailboxcreatelog.txt
Import-CSV c:\temp\input.csv | %{
Set-mailbox -Identity $_.DisplayName -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $false

Set-Mailbox -Identity $_.DisplayName -PrimarySmtpAddress $_.primarysmtpaddress
}

I would highly suggesting changing your EAP to use the new format instead of disabling EAP enforcement on the objects.

If you only want the new e-mail address to go to certain objects use filters, the Custom Attributes fields are great for this.
In general e-mail addresses should be change via EAPs not directly. Without EAPs there is no way to enforce standard formatting of addresses. Admins will need to remember to set the e-mail address as needed when creating new users too
if the default\matching EAP isn't configured to have the desired format.If this post helps to resolve your issue, please click the "Propose as Answer" If you find it helpful , mark it as helpful by clicking on "Vote as Helpful" button at the top of this message.

Disable address policy can be a good thing in some cases and can be bad in some cases. One thing I hate is when there is conflict with email addresses, then policy simply add a sequence number afterwards with out telling.
