Help - Changing email address

[Kirk Patti]

We're adding approximately 1500 users to an AD OU for the state of Delaware.
The domain logon names will be formatted First name.Lastname

Example: Joe.Smith



We're going to be populating an Exchange 2000/2003 information store with
these 1500 new AD users.

The SMTP address for these users will be "First Name.Last (e-mail address removed)"

Example: (e-mail address removed)



Currently these 1500 users are in an Exchange 5.5 information store, where
their SMTP address is First initial Last name.

Example: (e-mail address removed)



Is there a mechanism to automate making the address format change in each
clients personal address book via a script or 3rd party software?



Is there a way to include this mechanism as an attachment so the e-mail's
recipient can execute the same change?

If your recipient policy on the new server is set up as you wish, all
mailboxes should inherit the new format for their SMTP addresses. For
example, you want %g.%[email protected] - and you can set it as the default/reply
address in the policy.

Don't know how personal address book (or Outlook address book in general)
fits into this - it's apples to oranges. Can you provide more detail as to
what you mean by this?
