fix

Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) 6.x and DRA 7.x allows you to specify the SMTP address for a user account, however, the default address specified in Microsoft Exchange System Manager will override the address that DRA provides. 

The following is a workaround for DRA 6.x and DRA 7.x:

  1. Open Regedit on the DRA server and go to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mission Critical Software\OnePoint\Administration\Data\Modules\Exchange
  2. Edit the registry value of X2KProxyNamingConventions.  Change the lower case s.m.t.p to uppercase S.M.T.P.  The value in the registry is a binary value and you need to highlight each letter, one at a time, and change it from lower case to upper case.
  3. Enable a trigger script to fire on the UserCreate/UserCopy operation that unchecks the Automatically update email addresses based on recipient policy flag.

A trigger is available under the Knowledge Depot section of the Public folders called ExcludefromRecipientPolicy.vbs that could be used as a template.

This can be obtained from the DRA Knowledge Depot.
