I've an email address policy (Exchange 2007) that gives a user email that is givenName.lastName@mycompany.local After users last name is change, it should update emails as well (new should be primary). But it does not. Then when I choose "apply" to policy (Organization Configuration -> Hub Transport -> Email Address policies) it applies this policy to users and everything is as it should be. I have done this in a test enviroment, but cannot do it in a prod before I understand the reason. What is causing this and how do I do this without this manual process? I'm using FIM 2010 to update users, but I guess this is more of an Ecxhange issue since applying policy resolves this.

Do you have the EAP set to run at a given schedule? Get-emailaddresspolicy | fl

Thanks for the reply. Could someone provide a link or information that tells why this is necessary and how to do it.

Why it is recessary is to check if the email addresso run policy is set to run at certaino do it hours. Link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124117(EXCHG.80).aspx

What's "FIM 2010"? Forefront Identity Manager? Does it use the "set-mailbox" cndlet to change the name in the AD? There's no Recipient Update Service after Exchange 2003. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
