    Cannot modify default email address policy even after upgrading it. Neither conditions tab nor recipient types can be configured, greyed out.

    Set-EmailAddressPolicy "default policy" –IncludedRecipients AllRecipients

    Have you tried?

         Set-EmailAddressPolicy "default policy" –IncludedRecipients AllRecipients -forceupgrade

    You may also have an address list that is corrupt and is causing you an issue with a corrupt address list.

    How many email address lists do you have?  I had a client who had about a dozen of them and I was not able to create a new Public Folder Store on the Exchange 2010 installation without removing some old address lists.

    Have any of your public folders been moved over per this article? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg576862.aspx

    What does public folders have to do with email address policy?

    Public folders, especially for Exchange 2003, is where Outlook get OAB information.  Usually the step you are attempting is done after all users are moved and all Public Folders are migrated.  If you still have your Exchange 2003 server you can modify things from there or if you want to use Exchange 2007, make sure all your Public Folder data is moved according to that link I attached.

    For a more detailed look at the Address List migration, refer to the Microsoft Exchange Team blog post - http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2007/01/11/3397719.aspx

    PF replication is when there are multiple PF databases on different Exchange servers regardless of Exchange version.  So you can have a copy on each Exchange 2003 server and one on each Exchange 2007 server.  This is done for availability of certain properties contained in the folders (OAB, Free Busy and Org Forms).

    PF move is when you are migrating to a new server version for Exchange.  This essentially moves the root of the folders from the old Exchange version to the new Exchange version.  This would be done after replication is successful for PF.

    I ran the MoveAllReplicas.ps1 script, however I still cannot edit the default email address policy afterward. so it did not work. I fail to see what moving pf replicas has to do with email address policy.

    Hi Anand_N,

    Please run the following cmdlet and post the result here.

    Get-EmailAddressPolicy | Format-List Name,*RecipientFilter*,ExchangeVersion

    The following similar issue modify value of msExchPolicyOrder via ADSIEDIT for your reference.

     Proposed Answer

    I ran into this issue and neither ESM nor PowerShell helped me.  What did it was opening ADSI Edit on one of the Domain Controllers and digging to:

    //Configuration//Services//Microsoft Exchange//MY-DOMAIN//Recipient Policies

    I then right-clicked on the Recipient Policy I wanted to delete (Default Policy) and selected "Delete".  Went back to EMS and refreshed the policies and voila! it was gone.

    I did create a new policy before I deleted the old one, but this has no effect in the solution.

    I hope this helps someone else.
