Given this fact, is there a way to bulk remove email addresses from each user's mailbox (i.e. if we remove a certain domain from our corporation and I wanted to remove the '@olddomain.com' email address from all recipients in Exchange, by using the ESM?

I am noticing that when I modify our standard corporate email address policy in Exchange 2010, via the EMC, I am able to apply the changes to all the email enabled account, groups, resources, etc. However, if I remove one of the email addressing formats in the template and then attempt to apply that to all the same email-enabled resource, it does not remove the email address template. I'm assuming this isn't the expected behavior when modifying E-Mail Address policies? Also, our small organization appears to have three separate policies; Defauly Policy and then two additional ones. Is there any good reason for a small (< 50 mailboxes) organization to have any more than just the default policy?

Use ADModify to do that. You'll spend a lifetime doing it one mailbox at a time with the ESM. :-) --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

That's correct. Just becasue you aren't assigning any new addresses doesn't mean that new e-mail won't arrive addressed to the addresses that thre previously assigned. >I'm assuming this isn't the expected behavior when modifying E-Mail Address policies? Ye, it is. >Also, our small organization appears to have three separate policies; Defauly Policy and then two additional ones. Is there any good reason for a small (< 50 mailboxes) organization to have any more than just the default policy? That depends on what the policies are doing. Perhaps you have a different policy for groups? --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hello, Maybe you can use this to remove the email address: $users=get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited foreach($user in $users){ $user.EmailAddresses | where{$_.AddressString -like '*@olddomain.com'}| foreach{ Set-mailbox $user -EmailAddresses @{remove=$_} } } Thanks, EvanEvan Liu TechNet Community Support
