Might be a crossed wire here. You don't want to create a X.400 address type. You want to create a X.500 address type. They're treated differently in Exchange. Is that what you did? Not that it'll matter in a few days, but curious. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Jordan [mailto:tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2005 3:51 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: One more try... http://www.MSExchange.org/ Thanks again. I have read the doc's you posted but I've been unable to create an X.400 on the 2003 server that will accept mail based on the X.500 address that was used in the former domain. It's not critical - like you said it won't be a problem after 30 days... -----Original Message----- From: Mulnick, Al [mailto:Al.Mulnick@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2005 11:10 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: One more try...

For example, UserA sends mail to UserB, who is in the same organization. Later, UserA is moved to a different organization. The mail originally sent by UserA still specifies UserA's legacyExchangeDN property. GAL Synchronization creates a contact for UserA in the old organization and assigns an X.500 address with the old legacyExchangeDN property. This allows UserB to reply to the old mail, which, in turn, is properly routed to the TargetAddress property for UserA. If a mailbox is moved many times, the list of secondary proxy addresses can potentially grow large."

This will only create contacts so you will need to manage each side of the organization separately. 3) You will need to use exmerge to do the migrations of the mailbox contents over to the new org. Yes this will result in NDRs to all replies unless you manually add in an x.500 address for each of the users as you move them over that matches their old x.500 address." OR More specific to your scenario (I know you didn't use the tools, but the concepts were the same mostly). http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;818324 See the cause section. Hopefully that helps you to build the X.500 address space for each of these users. If you know their username, you should be able to build the rest and put the addresses in there for each user object.

The new Organization is "EXCHANGE" and the Site is "COMPANY". The first is an X.500 address. The second is an X.400. Try applying an appropriate X.400 and see what happens.

Just by moving the cursor over the recipients name I got this back: /O=COMPANY FOUNDATION/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=Tim The new X.400 looks like this: C=US;a= ;p=COMPANY;o=EXCHANGE;s=Jordan;g=Tim; Not sure how this would translate.

I was trying to find the blog entries about X.500 which gave a good description. You have to manually create the X.500 for each user. You'd need a copy of the GAL to know exactly, but if not too many you should be able to look at a reply address and figure it out for the users.

I'm looking at a current user now and the X.400 that is created currently is really basic. I don't doubt that this is the problem. Is there a way to reconstruct an X.400 address to match the former domains X.400 address? I can't easily reinstall the drives and fire up the old config. Can I pull the required data off an email and create an X.400 address. Perhaps if I connect to a different client and see how their 2000 server handles the X.400 entry and then try and duplicate - OR - I'm I playing with fire here????

There are migration tools that would have fixed this for you. Nothing (that I know of) for free. Maybe ADMT v2. You could try adding an additional X.400 and X.500 address for each user that matches the old one. I think that has a fairly high probability of working. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Jordan [mailto:tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, January 21, 2005 2:43 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] One more try... http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hello everyone, I'm reposting this plea for suggestions... Summary: Installed a new Windows 2003 server w/ Exchange 2003 at a client site. They were running W2K w/Exch 2K. I did not do an online migration. I replaced the original drives in the server and did a clean installing changing the company.org to company.local for internal dns. Problem: Emails that were sent within the organization based on the Global Address book prior to the new server will not deliver when users try to reply to them now. Error is "message undeliverable..." Solutions: I went in and updated the email field on contacts that were based on the former Global Address Book. But I don't have a clue as how to easy the users pain of having to always double check the email address prior to sending... Did I over look a tool that would have allowed me to export the Global Address book and then import it into the new Global Address book? Would this have allowed the replies to emails prior to the new server?
