Damn this is cool! OK folks this is DEFINITELY a download pick of the week. Two
snaps go to Dave Stevens for pointing out this Dotnet utility called ADModify.
This tool will let you add/ modify /remove objects in bulk form within Active
directory. In other words any user properties in Active directory can easily be
changed globally with it. I just used it to remove an old smtp address from
over 1000 ad users accounts. Worked like a champ!
Must have .net on the machine.

another beauty to use is the ADModify tool. This can create new email
address all in one go.
This is the recommended way to get rid of old smtp addresses as advised by MS.

You used to have to export the GAL and then do some funky Excel mojo to
reformat for import, with additional PorxyAddresses.
Now you can do it all with RUS.
And you can create RUS policies for subgroups using standard LDAP query
language, so you can have something only apply to a specific OU or some other
criteria.

Sweet..yes I figured this out..in previous versions (5.5) you had to use a
script..Microsoft did something right for once! Way too easy. : )

No need for a script...
In system management, go to:
[Organization Name]->Recipients->Recipient Policies
Assuming that you haven't created a new policy in the past, open the Default
Policy and modify the email addresses on the Email Address tab.
Then, go to Recipient Update Services, and ensure that there is an entry for
your default policy, and that it is set to "Always Run.
Then sit back and wait an hour or so, and all your recipients will be updated.

Hi Folks,
We want to change our email domain but keep our old domain as a secondary
address so that it still works. I know how to add the email connector and set
up dns.
I want an easy way to add the new email addresses to Active directory.
I was wondering if anyone had a utility/script to add the new email address
into AD for each/all user(s) and make it primary all in one swipe.
(Exchange/Windows 2003.
environment)
Thanks in advance,
