Can you do this Exchnage 2003?
Hi all,
Exhcnage 2003 SP2
I need to update users' primary email address with
%1g.%s@xyz.com
But, users' firstnanme and lastname's first letters are Cap.
AGates@xyz.com
I want to make them all lower case.
Is it possible?
Thank you.

You should be able to do it using a replace function in the policy. I would test this first by scoping down to a couple of test objects but this should do it for you.
%rAa%rBb%rCc%rDd%rEe%rFf%rGg%rHh%rIi%rJj%rKk%rLl%rMm%rNn%rOo%rPp%rQq%rRr%rSs%rTt%rUu%rVv%rWw%rXx%rYy%rZz%1g.%s@domain.com
will convert the whole thing to lower case.

Sure here it is.This is what you will put in the reipient policy line. the %r is replace. So it is going through each uppercase character and replacing with it lowercase version.

agates@xyz.com
Thank you.

The string i sent should work as i am just doing a replace in front of the normal %1g.%s Have you tried it on a few users to see the results. You could set it wo be active on a user with a value of like test in customattribute15 and then put
that attribute on a few users to try it out.
The string broken down:
Replace caps with lower case: %rAa%rBb%rCc%rDd%rEe%rFf%rGg%rHh%rIi%rJj%rKk%rLl%rMm%rNn%rOo%rPp%rQq%rRr%rSs%rTt%rUu%rVv%rWw%rXx%rYy%rZz
Get First initial of first name:
%1g
Add Period: .
Add last name: %s
Add Domain: @domain.com
All together:
%rAa%rBb%rCc%rDd%rEe%rFf%rGg%rHh%rIi%rJj%rKk%rLl%rMm%rNn%rOo%rPp%rQq%rRr%rSs%rTt%rUu%rVv%rWw%rXx%rYy%rZz%1g.%s@domain.comPlease remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Hi Scott,
I applied the policy and it works fine for the new users.
It can not change the exisitng users (ex: AGates@xyz.com) to
agates@xyz.com
Do you know whether I can make existing users to have all lower case?
Thank you very much.
