Thanks for all good answers. I'm going to investigate the issue further today based on the information provided. Kind regards, Stefan Stefan Hedlund K2 IT SOLUTIONS http://www.k2it.se -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org [mailto:ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org] För James Wells Skickat: den 2 december 2008 17:24 Till: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Ämne: Re: [ActiveDir] OT: legacyExchangeDn attribute What usual causes this...is someone having two Exchange tasks performed without waiting for replication between...for example: Mail-enabled user is going to be converted to a mailbox-enabled user. The tool or code of choice makes the change to the object, but in this case takes off the mail attributes first. The RUS sees the change and has some work to do, so it stamps attributes, including legacyExchangeDN. BUT the DC that RUS uses still hasn't updated (via AD replication) to show the removal of the legacyExchangeDN when the tool cleared it, in the first step. Since that DC thinks the legacyExchangeDN is already in use...it has to make it unique, and stamps a random integer on the end. You MIGHT get around that by pointing your code/tool to the same DC as the RUS, but I've never tested that. --James On 12/2/08, Stefan Hedlund <stefan.hedlund@k2it.se> wrote: > Hi all. > Here comes an Exchange/Outlook question (hence the OT)... > If user A have received a mail from user B... and later writes a new > mail to user B (user A press new mail in Outlook and starts typing the > displayname of user B in the address field)...
