Exchange 2007 doesn't support space in alias and that is the reason it gives these warnings, you may need to remove space from alias with the method available in blow article. How to Remove Spaces From Recipient Aliases by Using the Exchange Management Shell http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb851499.aspx Amit Tank | MVP - Exchange | MCITP:EMA MCSA:M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

Yes, that's what it was, the spaces. The article didn't work though, I got an error message:Set-Mailbox : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Identity' because it is null.At line:1 char:45+ ForEach($Mailbox in $Mailboxes) {Set-Mailbox <<<< $Mailbox.Name -Alias:($Mailbox.Alias -Replace " ","")}I ended up changing them all by hand. Thanks though.

Hummm... Yeh, example is for mailboxes. You can set manually if you have less numbers but you have higher then you can run similar cmdlet for DGs as mentioned in the note of article...
