Basically we have a number of contacts that we are trying to add to our GAL on Exchange 2007. Some of these contacts, working for the same company, have the same email address such as operations@contoso.com. You can add the first contact but adding the second causes the following error:
Summary: 1 item(s). 0 succeeded, 1 failed.
Elapsed time: 00:00:08
Failed
Error:
The proxy address "SMTP:operations@contoso.com" is already being used by "***************". Please choose another proxy address.
Exchange Management Shell command attempted:
New-MailContact -ExternalEmailAddress 'SMTP:************' -Name 'Timmy Alexander' - Alias 'TimmyAlexander' -OrganizationalUnit '**************' -FirstName 'Timmy' -Initials '' -LastName 'Alexander'
Elapsed Time: 00:00:08
Is there a way to get around this?
At the end of the day we could create just the single contact for operations@contoso.com but some of our users prefer bringing up the individuals name from the GAL. I am scratching my head somewhat on this.
