How to set msExchRecipientTypeDetails Active Directory Attribute using VBScript.

  • Article

When we move Mailbox from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007, it may be shown as Linked Mailbox.

This issue can occur if the associated external account was set on the user's Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange 2000 Server mailbox.

To resolve the problem, modify the user account attribute msExchRecipientTypeDetails from a value of 2 to a value of 1 using ADSI Edit.

We can refer to the article mentioned below:

Or use the sample VBScript given below:
