The Specified E-mail Address Policy Couldn’t Be Edited.

Exchange 2003, Exchange 2010, Microsoft, Server 2008 | | April 15, 2011 at 11:08 am

IT Problem

If you have a 2010 exchange server and also a legacy exchange 2003 server, when you try and edit the recipient update policy then you may see the error below.

The specified e-mail address policy couldn’t be edited. E-mail address policies created with legacy versions of Exchange must be upgraded using the ‘Set-EmailAddressPolicy’ task, with the Exchange 2010 Recipient Filter specified

 

IT Solution

We need to use the set-emailaddresspolicy cmdlet to set the the exchange 2010 server to be able to manage the recipient policy.

 

OK so open up the exchange power shell console and copy and paste the below text into it then press return.

 

Get-EmailAddressPolicy | where {$_.RecipientFilterType –eq “Legacy”} | Set-EmailAddressPolicy –IncludedRecipients AllRecipients

 

Restart the exchange 2010 console and you will now be able to edit the recipent policy in exchange 2010
