If it was upgraded, then that's your policy now. I don't think the default
can be deleted, IIRC. I've never tried, and have just created additional
policies for filtering or mailbox management reasons in 2003. However, just
to make sure, check ADSI Edit to see if there are two policies in place.

You are welcome Ace. Also thank you for the supplement of ADSI Edit checking steps. Yes, we always avoid using ADSI Edit to modify the AD object directly if we have UI
console to do that.

Just FYI, I also found another article about upgrading Address List with Exchange 2007 from Exchange team blog here:

Thanks for your time.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your update and glad to know we are making progress. Please go on with your migration according to the migration guide documents.

An Accepted Domain and Email-Address Policy is created using the chosen domain name. Regarding the email address policies and how to configure them in SBS 2008, you
