Create a Recipients Policy

When you install the GroupWise connector in your organization, the GroupWise e-mail address generator creates an address of type GWISE (GroupWise_domain.Post_office.Object_ID) for each user, group, contact, and public folder in the organization. The default address is:

Exchange.First Administrative Group.%m

Caution   During directory synchronization, the connector also creates secondary proxy addresses for GroupWise recipients. These addresses, which appear not bolded in the E-Mail Addresses tab, are used as unique identifiers for GroupWise recipients. You should not delete these secondary proxy addresses; in general, you should only delete addresses that you create manually.

You can modify the user name format using the format specifiers in the following table.

To create a recipients policy:

1. Start System Manager
   On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
2. Navigate to Recipient Policies.

   Important   Although Active Directory supports Unicode characters, the e-mail address must use the Western European character set.

6. Click the box next to the GWISE address type, so that a check mark appears. Then click Apply. Recipient Update Service will automatically generate GroupWise addresses for all users, contacts, and groups in Active Directory.
