Has anyone experienced opening up a AD account and looking at the E-Mail addresses tab and finding MULTIPLE SMTP addresses? What could cause this? I heard scripts maybe responsible. We're a large enterprise and go through admins like water. Also, there is no correlation between accounts, the date the objects are updated are not consistent.

You could easily have a slew of addresses. What version of Exchange are you talking about and what are the address generators/policies (version version!!) saying?
Exchange 2003 and yes multiple primary addresses; they are bolded and in caps. I have to go into ADSI and edit them.

That, or a 3rd-party bit of software, or someone importing data with LDIFDE, or someone editing the proxyaddresses property with something like ADSIEDIT. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
