Problem with Cross forest user/exchange migration. Can anyone advise if I am doing that right:
1. I have domain1.com (with ex2003) and domain2.com (ex2007). Have all forest trusts/name resolution working OK.
2. So I migrate users using ADMT (and not forgetting SIDHistory:)) from domain1 to domain2. All works fine - both users have access to resources, profile translation etc. all works fine.
3. After migrating users I open Exchange 2007 console and I see those users as mailbox users - only exchange server is from domain1. Lets say ex2003 is server name.
4. So I open Exchange Powershell and execute get-mailbox -domaincontroller dc.domain1.com -credential $sourcecredential -server "ex2003". And I can see all mailboxes OK.
5. I pipeline results of command into move-mailbox cmdlet and they move to new 2007 server.

Problem is - sometimes (it is intermittent) after migration Primary SMTP address is not populated. So when you open mailbox properties->e-mail addresses you can see both smtp (domain1.com and domani2.com) addresses, but none of them are not primary (and "Automatically update addresses based on policy..." is not checked)... After I setup one of them primary manually everything is OK, but if you have hundreds of users like that.
Am I doing something wrong?
