Our company has acquired another company. The people from the other company did not have exchange on their site. They are added to our Exchange and I would like to have their old email address to be used along with ours.
I created New Accepted Domain in Exchange and then also I created New E-mail Address Policy specifying certain people based on custom attributes to have @acquaredcompany.com and @currentcompany.com email addresses. I am going to have the MX records also pointed to our spam company.
Here are my question/problems:
1. At first I decided to update our current Email Address Policy and add the new accepted domain with the @acquaredcompany.com to be reflected in everybody?s E-mail Addresses Properties. This added @acquaredcompanu.com to everybody on our Exchange.
2. After some thoughts I decided to create new Email Address Policy and apply it to specific group of people which match specific Custom Attribute.
3. I wanted to update our current Email Address Policy to remove the @acquaredcompany.com from everybody?s properties…schedule to update now..and the @acquaredcompany.com is still in everybody?s properties.
Where is my mistake here? What would be the reason for the email address policy not the update (I have the Automatically update….based on e-mail policy option checked)?
Is there specific time when the update happens? I thought that this should happen almost instantaneously…
