Is it possible to disable the default value of Automatically update e-mail addresses based on email address policy? I want all newly created mailboxes to have the checkbox unchecked.

Hi, You will have to run following command in EMS for this purpose after creating the mailbox. Set-mailbox "MailboxEmailAddress" -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $false Also you can run this command for multiple users in bulk using Get-mailbox | Set-mailbox $_.Identity -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $false OR using Get-mailbox -filter {EmailAddresses -like '*@Domain.com'} | Set-mailbox $_.Identity -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $false You can't set this flag at the time of mailbox creation, u will have to set it after creation of mailbox Regards,Laeeq Qazi|Team Lead(Exchange + Sharepoint + BES + DynamicsCRM) www.HostingController.com

This is only useful once the mailbox is created.I want to set the server so that when I create the mailbox, it's done without the checkbox checked.Kind regardsMaria

Hi, For it you have few options: 1- Create the mailbox using new-mailbox command and use -TemplateInstance parameter. This way u can use an existing mailbox as a template for new mailbox. The existing mailbox will have properties which u have set according to your need, and then can be used as a template for new mailboxes. The new mailbox will contain the properties replica of existing mailbox. Here u will have to use Exchange Management Shell. Here is the detail how u create a new mailbox using Template http://www.petri.co.il/using-templates-to-create-exchange-recipient-objects-part-1.htm 2- You run a powershell script using windows schedular. In that script you will run the command to set "EmailAddressPolicyEnabled" as false for all or some specific users.

Kind regards Maria Hi, In Exchange 2010: In EMS If you create mailboxes using "new-mailbox" PS command and provide -PrimarySmtpAddress porpetry then by default "EmailAddressPolicyEnabled" would be false, hence your mailbox will only have email address which u provide in value of "PrimarySmtpAddress" parameter.
