For more info on the ApplyMandatoryProperties switch (what it actually does and why the switch exists - ie, why does it fix this problem), see my earlier blog post: http://blogs.technet.com/evand/archive/2007/02/28/applymandatoryproperties.aspx

hi,

i have migrated from exchange 2000 to 2007 and exch2000 has been decomissioned.in my case a user has got a old smtp e-mail address still showing in default GAL. actually this e-mail address has been removed from the user object.a new e-mail address has been assigned to him, and i can see the new e-mail address under 'All Users' category, but the default GAL and therefore the Default OAL(offline address list) is still getting the old e-mail address.when anyone on the network tries to send an e-mail to this 'problamatic user' it's getting resolved to the old non existing e-mail address , which it is picking it from default GAL, whcih is ultimately an OAL.

i don't know how i can get an uptodate default GAL with old data being flushed out.

i appreciate your help

regards

REDDY

You will need to remove this users proxy address and then run this command as listed in the blog. This will stamp all of the mandatory attributes. If the user does not have a vaild proxy address and mail attribute that match you will get a 9325 in the application log stating that this user has been skipped from the generation process. They must be there and be correct for the user to be added to the gal.

I tried this and I am getting error "user has no mailbox" (I am trying to fix users with external addresses, without mailboxes). Any suggestions?

doing POC for Ex5.5 to Ex2007 migrations using quest... also getting a following error

Mailbox '/o=SHLGROUPVM/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=Belindaj' was not found in the GAL. 31/07/2007 13:10:56 /o=SHL/ou=UK-SE/cn=Recipients/cn=Belindaj

tried to stamp the ShowInAddressBook parameter but this attribute does not exist in AD, is this a Ex2007 attribute?

I have not seen that but I would open a case with PSS to get that resolved.

Yes Bhavesh that is an attribute, however quest does not stamp that. You need to run Set-Mailbox–ApplyMandatoryProperties to fix that.
