SUMMARY

In a single-server-based Exchange organization, you may want to configure different primary e-mail addresses for users based on their membership in a sub-domain of the Exchange organization or a membership in a Windows Active Directory domain. This article demonstrates how to create a custom Recipient Policy based on a user principal name (UPN) suffix.

MORE INFORMATION

To create a Recipient Policy that filters users based on their UPN suffix names, follow these steps:
  1. Start the Exchange System Manager.
  2. Expand the Recipients folder, right-click Recipient Policies, point to New, and then click Recipient Policy.
  3. In the Name box, type a name for the recipient policy.
  4. Click Modify, and then click the Advanced tab.
  5. Click Field, point to User, and then click Logon name.
  6. Under Condition, click the arrow, click Ends with, and then type the UPN suffix in the Value box.

    You can use either the default UPN suffix that matches the domain name or an additional UPN suffix that you have created. To add a UPN suffix, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Domains and Trusts.
    2. In the left pane, right-click Active Directory Domains and Trusts, and then click Properties.
    3. Type the name of the UPN suffix in the Alternative UPN suffixes box, click Add, and then click OK.
  7. Click Add, and then click Find. Examine the results to confirm that the LDAP filter works correctly. Click OK.
  8. Click the E-Mail Address tab, and then configure additional e-mail addresses if you have to.

    To set an e-mail address as Primary address for all users to whom this policy applies, click the address, and then click Set as Primary.

    Note When you configure new recipient policies, Microsoft recommends that you leave the default SMTP address in the Default Recipient Policy. If this SMTP address in the Default Recipient Policy is not stamped on a user account, the user cannot log on to Microsoft Outlook Web Access.
  9. Click OK to save the new Recipient Policy.
  10. Right-click the Recipient Policy, and then click Apply this policy now.
  11. To verify that the new policy stamps e-mail addresses, start Active Directory Users and Computers, double-click one of the accounts included in this policy, click the E-Mail Address tab, and then determine whether this account has been stamped.
