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.

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?
