Exchange 2003 e-mail address management
 
aaargggghhhhhhhhh, I hate M$ management :mad:

Right, we have around 5,000 external contacts in our AD. This is an import of an Address Book for one of our large clients.

They were there when we upgraded from Exchange 5.5, but every contact has the "Automatically update e-mail addresses based on recipient policy" checked.

So, for every contact it's given them an e-mail address for our domain (SMTP, MS, CCMAIL and X.400).

I don't think I can use Recipient Policies because you can't leave the default policy blank (i.e. Exchange wants at least SMTP defined for every object).

So, how the heck can I turn the automatic update off AND remove all the unwanted e-mail addresses from the contacts???

I think probably the only way will be to use VBS scripts - indeed I had to do something similiar for my last firm (27K addresses - gulp!)

Thanks Miles.

I'll speak to our resident VB expert and see what he can come up with for me.
