Thank you for your ideas. But since I figured out what the problem was here,
I am not going to analyze the logs.
To the problem: it had something to do with ADMODIFY :-)
I changed the bulk of users with this tool, somehow working around that bug
I told you a few days ago (that is, checking the option to use "same prefix
as current primary smtp address" not working properly)
After ADMODIFY, I replicated the whole directory with a two-way CA. What a
luck that I changed two users by hand and not with the tool, so I figured
out that only the users which had been modified with ADMODIDY had no default
smtp address!!!
Don't know why this occurs but it is a fact. Another thing I recognized
during this session today is the following:
The mail attribute of one user is not updated by ADMODIFY. It seems that it
only updates the proxyaddresses field and doesn't touch the mail attribute.
If you change the default smtp address through the AD Users and Computers
mmc, the mail attribute is automatically changed by the GUI. Maybe thats the
reason why replicating with ADC fails... I think the author of ADMODIFY
should correct this in a future version.
Well... that one costed some hand-work for me. But now I am happy to be done
and will have a nice turn of the year :-)
Happy new year @ all...

Interesting. What is your CA set to do? Did you change the objects with a
script or with a recipient policy?
I prefer to have my CA set to log at a minimum level all the time so I can
see what changes occur and in cases like this have something to look at for
changes. I think if you look in the logs, you may find that the 5.5 server
rejected some of the changes. In 5.5, it would likely not expect you to
change the default SMTP address that way, but rather that you would change
it via the 5.5 tools and let it replicate to the Active Directory. By
default, the CA is set to treat Exchange as the authoritative directory.
If you changed this with a recipient policy, check out the readme doc that
talks about how the default recipient policy is 5.5 based and can't be
changed in 2000 while in mixed mode (something like that).
Interested to hear what you find after checking the logs as well.

Subject: [exchangelist] Change of Default SMTP Address not replicated with
ADC
http://www.MSExchange.org/
Dear list.
I changed some hundred mail enabled user objects in AD. There has been added
some new addresses and also the default SMTP address changed. After running
the ADC CA to replicate these changes to 5.5 environment, I noticed that all
modified objects lacks of a default SMTP address ;-( The added address
appear in the proxyaddresses but they all don't have a default SMTP address.
I am a bit confused:
(1) Why did the Connection Agreement not change the Default SMTP address?
(2) What happens, if a user don`t has a default SMTP address?
I don't want to touch RUS and don't want to make a CSV import. Think the CA
should handle all this automaically. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Christian
