Custom address templates with Exchange 2007

DATALINE AG uses E-Mail addresses in the style f.lastname@domain.tld – i was rather irritated that the MMC console of Exchange 2007 didn’t offer a way to create custom address templates. Most of the advanced functionality is now PowerShell only – which i don’t see as a bad thing, it just takes some time getting used to.

Set-EmailAddressPolicy -Identitiy 'Default Policy'
-enabledPrimarySMTPAddressTemplate "%1g.%s.@exchange2007.local"

And there it already is. You even view this from the MMC, but you can’t change it. I still hate the PowerShell tab completion – it just doesn’t offer as many features as the zsh i’ve customized over the years.
