You can turn it on again for all mail contacts like this
Get-MailContact |Set-MailContact -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $true
or if your contacts exist in an OU then you can run this command only for contacts in that OU:
Get-MailContact -OrganizationalUnit "YourADDomain.com\YourOU" |Set-MailContact -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $true
Or just Turn it ON for those contacts who have this flag off like this:
Get-MailContact |Where {$_.EmailAddressPolicyEnabled -eq $false} |Foreach { Set-MailContact $_.Identity -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $true}

Hi,
I m not sure about root cause, there could be any of the following (just my thought)
- some tech admin mistakenly done that
- some app on that server caused this
- did u migrate mailboxes from some legacy exchange server to ex2007? May be that caused it

Hi Avinash,
How do you create the contacts?
If you use New-MailContact with parameter -PrimarySmtpAddress , the check box will be removed.
More information:
