XFOR: Retaining MS Mail Mailbox SMTP Addresses After Dirsync (147534)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q147534 SUMMARY
As part of the migration process from Microsoft Mail to Microsoft Exchange,
Administrators may decide to start using the Internet Mail Connector (IMC)
that ships with Microsoft Exchange instead of the Microsoft Mail SMTP
Gateway.
In order to do this, the Administrator needs to set up Directory
Synchronization (dirsync) between Microsoft Mail and Microsoft Exchange.
After Directory Synchronization has successfully completed, all the
Microsoft Mail mailboxes will now reside in the Microsoft Exchange
Directory as custom recipients. These custom recipients will however have a
different SMTP address than that of the corresponding Microsoft Mail
mailboxes.
To make the switch from the Microsoft Mail SMTP gateway to the IMC
transparent to the Microsoft Mail users, the Administrator may need to
change the SMTP address of each custom recipient so that it is the same as
the old SMTP address for each user. This will allow each Microsoft Mail
user to receive mail, via the IMC, at the same SMTP address that they used
prior to the introduction of Microsoft Exchange.
The rest of this article describes how an Exchange Administrator can add
another SMTP address to each MS Mail custom recipient. This new SMTP
address will be the same as the users old SMTP address.
