Ok, so you're not creating these programmatically :) Typical behavior is to create additional proxy addresses on the objects so that you can receive for those objects and forward it to the proper destination. The RUS handles this and other items for you (there's a kb about the exact pieces if you want to look). If you don't create those attribute values, then you'll need to let the RUS do it for you. This indicates that you'll have to remove that checkbox after the RUS has run. Maybe nightly would be frequent enough? So the logic would be something like: Once a night, wake up and enumerate the contacts in a specific OU (or the entire domain if so needed) For each mailenabled contact: Deselect the recipient update service (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript/bro wse_frm/thread/ad250b4f1bb7ecd7/f282bdbb0373bf6c?q=vbscript+%22Automatically +update+email+addresses+based+on+recipient+policy%22#f282bdbb0373bf6c ) Remove the proxy addresses (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/ _cdo_creating_a_mailbox_enabled_recipient.asp) Next Write a log or somehow signal the deed is done. Wait for next run.

If you remove the checkbox before the recipient policy updates the contact, then not even the custom SMTP address stays in there. Then there is no email address whatsoever and you can't send to that contact. -Jason -----Original Message----- From: Mulnick, Al [mailto:Al.Mulnick@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 2:52 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: [ExchangeList] Recipient Policy not apply to an OU? http://www.MSExchange.org/ Then wouldn't it make sense to remove that check box on creation of the contact? -----Original Message----- From: Jason Lehrhoff [mailto:JLehrhoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 2:42 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: [ExchangeList] Recipient Policy not apply to an OU? http://www.MSExchange.org/ No. The desired result is creating a contact that only has an outside (outside of our organization) SMTP address, without the recipient policy adding the additional username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx addresses. -Jason -----Original Message----- From: Mulnick, Al [mailto:Al.Mulnick@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 2:31 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: [ExchangeList] Recipient Policy not apply to an OU? http://www.MSExchange.org/ Is that your desired result then? -----Original Message----- From: Jason Lehrhoff [mailto:JLehrhoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 2:26 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: [ExchangeList] Recipient Policy not apply to an OU? http://www.MSExchange.org/ If you uncheck that box before it populates, the SMTP address never shows up. ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: al.mulnick@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx The HealthCare Chaplaincy is a multifaith community of professionals from many cultures dedicated to caring for persons in spirit, mind, and body.
