Disable "Automatically update e-mail addresses based on email address policy"
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

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

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.

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.
