SUMMARY
=======

When the Microsoft Exchange Server Move Server Wizard (MSW) is run, an X.500
proxy address is created for each user using the old Organization and Site name.
This address is set as the primary X.500 proxy address.

MORE INFORMATION
================

If the same server is moved again, a second X.500 proxy address is created using
the old Organization and Site name resulting from the first server move. This
address is set as the primary X.500 proxy address, with the first X.500 address
still present as a secondary proxy address.

The X.500 address is used to enable replies from the old site to be redirected to
the correct user in the new site. This feature works in conjunction with a
message transfer agent (MTA) change in Exchange Server 5.5.
