Hi, We are using Exchange 2007 SP1/Windows 2003 I need to change the Primary SMTP address of around 600 users, their existing Primary SMTP address should be the secondary SMTP address and disable the Check box "Automatically update Email Addresses based on email address policy". I am looking for a Shell script to do this task more efficiently without doing it manually. Kindly Suggest. Regards Supreet Singh

The first question that pops up in my mind is "why can't you use policies to assign the addresses?" >I am looking for a Shell script to do this task more efficiently without doing it manually. .. . . which is why policies would be the way to deal with this. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi, An easy way to do this job: 1. Create a new E-mail Address Policies and apply to your users. After applying the E-mail address though E-mail Address Policy, the new SMTP address will be set to Default SMTP Address automatically. And the old STMP address will be the secondary SMTP address. 2. Run the following script to disable "Automatically update Email Addresses based on email address policy" for the mailbox users: Get-mailbox| set-mailbox –emailAddressPolicyEnabled $false Note: Get-mailbox command collects all your mailbox enabled users in your organization. Then the set-mailbox disables the “Automatically update Email Addresses based on email address policy" option of these users.
