XFOR: SMTP Addresses Generated Incorrectly If the Site Name Has an @ in Its Name

MORE INFORMATION

• You want to add a server to a site that has an @ in its name.

  You install a new server (server1) in a site that has an @ in its name, for example, "test @ microsoft." The Exchange Server organization name is "org."
  
  You create several mailboxes on the newly installed server.
  
  If you check the SMTP proxy address for a user on the server, for example, user1, the proxy address that is generated may look like "test6@microsoft.server1.com" instead of the expected address "user1@test@microsoft.org.com."
  
  The incorrect SMTP proxy address contains the server name and a randomly generated number that is added to the site name, instead of being in the standard SMTP proxy address format (alias@site name.organization name.com).

• You want to move a server (by using the Move Server Wizard) to a site that has an @ in its name.

  You want to move another server (server2) that is in a different site (site2) to a site that has an @ in its name (in this example, "test @ microsoft"). The Exchange Server organization name is "org." Before the move, if you check the SMTP proxy address for a user, user2, for example, on server2, it looks like "user2@site2.org.com."
  
  You run the Move Server Wizard on server2 to join that server to the "test @ microsoft" site.
  
  After the move, the primary proxy address for user2 may look like "testfd3f0@microsoft.server2.com," instead of the expected address "user2@test@microsoft.org.com."
  
  The incorrect SMTP proxy address contains the server name and a randomly generated number that is added to the site name, instead of being in the standard SMTP proxy address format (alias@site name.organization name.com). The Move Server Wizard does not cause the generation of the inaccurate proxy addresses.
