Hi, its Chris and I have updates on my Microsoft Exchange module to share! A new function is added to version 2.8.1 , named "Copy-RecipientAddress". This function copies proxy addresses from one object to another. This is a very common scenario when synchronizing recipients between directories since ambiguous objects may be created. Usually, a mail contact is created by the synchronization service that has the smtp address of an existing recipient. Removing the contact will resolve the issue - provided that the object coming from the remote organization will be joined on the next synchronization operation, but if the contact has been available on the GAL for a while, users may have sent messages to this contact. If this is the case, outlook keeps a copy of the Legacy-Exchange-DN address of the contact in it's cache and when the user will try to send a message to the contact you've removed, the message will not be delivered. Enter Copy-RecipientAddress! If you co...

Managing the a recipient's addresses can be a time consuming process since it involves the multi value Active Directory attribute "proxyAddresses". This can be tricky when using PowerShell, especially for the less experienced administrator. Since I have also wasted a lot of time on this, I decided to make things easier and write a few functions to update the proxy addresses of objects. Getting To get the proxy addresses of an object, simply use the Get-RecipientAddress function with the identity of the recipient.
