Hi all,
Before you start pointing me at X.500 addresses and legacy exchange DN's, save your breathe, it will not help.
We are about to start migrating from corporate google apps through to a locally hosted Exchange 2013 environment and as a first try i am trying to migrate my mailbox. Well i thought it would just be a case of taking the PST that the google sync app creates and a bit of dragging and dropping and voila! well no such luck.
When I reply to any emails that are pre-migration (i.e from the gamil PST) I get an NDR straight away which is below
Received: from EX1.mydomain.local (192.168.1.5) by EX1.mydomain.local
(192.168.1.5) with Microsoft SMTP Server (TLS) id 15.0.516.32; Wed, 21 Aug

Content-Type: application/ms-tnef; name="winmail.dat"

From: Aaron <aaron@MyProperEmailAddress.com.au>
To: 'Anthony <IMCEAEX-T@MyProperEmailAddress.com.au>
Well as you can see it is treating anthonys address as a local one when the original email has it as something completely different being an external address at one of our vendors (Anthony@SomeExternalVendor.com.au for example)
. So the question is
1) why is this happening? Is it something google are doing to the PST?
2) Without having to download all my email again... is there a way to 'santise' the PST to make the addresses 'repliable' again? And I really dont fancy having to type out the SMTP addresses for the first time I uses them.. they are all sitting there in the PST, so why have a dog and bark too hey? Also, can you imagine getting 500 users in 3 countries to accurately be able to do that? I don't think it is going to happen. Also, I don't think it looks good for an IT department to tell users that they have to type all their email addresses out again, makes us look kinda silly :)
This has to have come up before but I could not find a reference to it that did not send people diving down the legacy exchangedn and x.500 rabbit holes. of which i do not believe this is one.
And to cover of the absolute basics, yes I have tried re-creating profiles, tried different machines and what not :)
