arichardson -> Migrating E-Mail Address Policies and Address Lists (18.Jan.2007 11:54:06 PM)

Hi,

I've upgraded from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2007, and I'm having some trouble with the e-mail address policies and address lists.

If I double click the default e-mail address policy in the EMC, I get the following message;
"Unable to edit the specified E-mail address policy.  E-mail address policies created with legacy versions of exchange must be upgraded using the 'Set-EmailAddressPolicy' task, with the Exchange 2007 Recipient Filter specified. specified."
 
If I do the same thing with address policies, I get the following message;
"Unable to edit the specified address list. Address lists created with legacy versions of Exchange must be upgraded using the 'ForceUpgrade' parameter of the 'Set-AddressList' cmdlet."
 
The documentation for running either of those two tasks is pretty woeful, and I've been thus far unable to figure out the correct syntax to use in the EMS to update either of those two objects.

Anyone have any ideas?

You use the following command to upgrade a legacy E-mail Address Policy to Exchange 2007:

Set-EmailAddressPolicy <insert name of policy> <recipients to be included such as -includedrecipients allrecipients> -forceupgrade

Note though that the policy must be E2K7 valid, otherwise the force upgrade procedure will fail.

The policy is named Default Policy, so I opened EMS and typed;
Set-EmailAddressPolicy "default policy" -forceupgrade
 
and got the following message;
WARNING: The command completed successfully but no settings of 'Default Policy' have been modified.

and if I try to double click the policy, I still get the same error message.

What do you mean by the policy being exchange 2007 valid?

Anyone?

The -forceupgrade switch will supress the "are you sure.." prompt - but it does not appear to actually fully upgrade the EAP. (It seems to upgrade it in a Read Only mode?)

If you go back to your Exchange Powershell and run the command with a -includedrecipients allrecipients switch it will upgrade the whole EAP successfully
(i.e. set-emailaddresspolicy "default policy" -includedrecipients allrecipients)

Now I am just trying to figure out how to use the pipe to upgrade all EAP/Recipient Policies through one scripted line. I have figured out the variable using distinguishedname no problem, but it does not appear to actually perform the upgrade when using a loop...
