APPLIES TO

- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Standard Edition

SYMPTOMS
You cannot stop cc:Mail or MS Mail (PC) proxy address generation on a
Microsoft Exchange 4.0 server if a Microsoft Exchange 5.5 server is in the
same site. You can disable cc:Mail or MS Mail (PC) address types from being
generated via Configuration, Site Addressing, Site Addressing tab on the
Exchange 5.5 server. This will remove the cc:Mail or MS Mail (PC) addresses
from all users in the site. However, when you create new users in the
Exchange 4.0 server, cc:Mail or MS Mail (PC) address types will continue to
be generated. Creating new users in the Exchange 5.5 server will not
generate cc:Mail or MS Mail (PC) address types.
CAUSE
This is by design, because Exchange 4.0 does not support a new property of
the Exchange 5.5 directory schema. When you disable the cc:Mail or MS Mail
(PC) address type, an attribute called Disabled-Gateway-Proxy is added to
the Exchange directory schema. This attribute lists the proxy addresses
that are disabled. On the Exchange 4.0 server, this attribute is added, but
the list of disabled addresses is blank.
