Two forest scenario. IIFP 1a. Both forests Windows 2003 SP1 and Exchange 2003 SP2. After initial setup and synchronisation I notice that my synced users (and their corresponding Contact objects in the second forest) acquire two new X500 addresses (one for each Exchange org). Simple question really. Is this normal and expected or have I misconfigured something? I assume the X500 address is to uniquely identify them in the metaverse, but having two seems excessive! Thanks Tony ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at mail.activedir.org List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.activedir.org/ml/threads.aspx

There was a blog entry last year related to x.500 addresses and their usage on "you had me at ehlo" or something like that. Yes, that's the case - if something will be sent (for example reply) on this "second" address it will be delivered if You will have this X500 address. If You are using standard GAL scenario delivered with IIFP this is correct configuration.

Thanks both of you. I understand the concept of X.500 addresses being useful for maintaining the ability to reply to senders whose mailbox has moved elswhere. It doesn't explain why: A) they are required for the IIFP. At a basic level I can manually emulate the GAL sync behaviour by creating a Contact object and assigning just an SMTP and X.400 address. Mail flow will work just fine without the need for an X.500 address; B) each user object receives two X.500 addresses (one corresponding to each Exchange organisation); C) the Contact objects also receive two X.500 addresses. I'll run it past some of the guys and the product group and see what comes back.

Why x.500? 'Cause that's the preferred method vs. x.400. I'll keep an eye out for the answer you get back 'cause now I'm crazy curious. :) On 9/22/06, Tony Murray wrote: Thanks both of you.
