Hi My question is. Would it be a problem if the 3rd party software created its own unique number and populated the Legacy Exchange DN field in AD The reason below. We have a 3rd party program which populates AD with mail enabled contacts. We have noticed that when you create a contact in AD using the user creation tools, if you create a contact with the same Alias. AD or Exchange puts a number at the end. In our example we created 2 contacts each unique apart from the same Alias. The second one had a large number appended at the end of the CN. First account >legacyExchangeDN: /O=Miller Insurance Group/OU=MILLERINS/cn=Recipients/cn=YYYJimSmith Second account >legacyExchangeDN: /O=Miller Insurance Group/OU=MILLERINS/cn=Recipients/cn=YYYJimSmith16048289 With the 3rd Party software this does not seem to be happening. It actually does not fill out the field but the result is that a number is added sequentially. Which isn't a problem until you delete an account. Then create a new one with the same Alias. It may create a legacy Exchange DN used by a deleted contact. Would it be a problem if the 3rd party software created its own unique number and populated the Legacy Exchange DN. -- Phillip Sanderson
