Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have the email address of a user whose account is hosted on a computer that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2010.

  • You run the following cmdlet on the Exchange Server 2010 server:

    Set-Mailbox - Identity <user name> -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $False
  • The msExchPoliciesExcluded property of the user is set to the GUID of the default email address policy and the msExchPoliciesIncluded property of the user is set to null.

  • You run the following cmdlet on the Exchange Server 2010 server:

    Update-Recipient - Identity <user name>
