Hello,

If I update User First Name and Last Name attribute in Active Directory without changing primary SMTP address of user mailbox, I need to know that will Primary SMTP address also be updated as per email address policy defined (based on user first name and last name) for Recipient mailbox on Exchange server after next time email address policy triggers?

FYI: Automatically update email addresses based on email address policy box is checked.

Kindly answer specific to above mentioned question with link of reference article.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
G-ONE

    Yes, it will apply the Email Address Policy automatically once the object is modified and saved:

    Each time a recipient object is modified and saved, Exchange enforces the correct application of the email address criteria and settings. When an email address policy is modified and saved, all associated recipients are updated with the change. In addition, if a recipient object is modified, that recipient's email address policy membership is reevaluated and enforced.
