Email Address policies -- quick question
Hi do EAP's remove email addresses that have been previously applied by another policy so EAP_policy_1 applies @test.com, and it set to priority 2 (and set as reply) you create another policy called EAP_policy_2 and apply @test1.com (and set as reply) so users and DL's being updated with EAP's will have both test @ test1.com email addresses, and set as reply and would it be the case that EAP_policy_2 would determine the reply address (primary SMTP) CheersJames

Hi, Only the policy with the highest priority will be applied to a user. All old email address will be deleted because it is not part of the applied policy. You could create one policy to set both the test.com and test1.com mail address and choose which one to use as reply address.

Hi Bart so just to be clear the logic is that as soon as a policy matches a recipient the processing of policies stop and policies remove existing smtp email addresses

Hi, I think existing email address should be removed manually from the user's properties. Kottees : My Blog : Please mark it as an answer if it really helps you.

yes -- i am not convinced applying a new policy deletes smtp addresses applied by a superseded one

The previous primary proxy addresses will be demoted to secondary proxy addresses. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Thank you so much for clarification Rich. Cheers!!! Kottees : My Blog : Please mark it as an answer if it really helps you.

Yes, policy will not remove the existing smtp email addresses. You can follow Rich's suggestion, use script or ADModify to remove that. Maybe you can use this to help you remove the old address: $users=get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited foreach($user in $users){ $user.EmailAddresses | where{$_.AddressString -like '*@test.com'}| foreach{ Set-mailbox $user -EmailAddresses @{remove=$_} } } Thanks, Evan Liu TechNet Subscriber Supportin forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com Evan Liu TechNet Community Support
