I have an existing SBS 08 install, running about 2 weeks now, and I was
in adding a single security group to a single users account, using the
wizards, when I clicked APPLY it gave me an error that the users account
(email) already existed - nothing I could do would correct the error, I
canceled the wizard, opened the user back up, and all looked good, even
the SG was added.

Now, some external as well as internal users get errors when they send
to that same user - not everyone, just some. I'm in the process of
exporting his email, deleting the exchange account, and recreating it,
but I can't understand what caused this....

Anyone seen this before?

I figured it out - somehow (and I'm going to accept that I must have
fat-fingered it) the email address field was edited and the last
character of the users name was removed.... I had to open the Exchange
Management Shell and change the "Alias" to fix it.

I know you've at this long enough not to use one of those "reserved" names
Glad you figured it out and posted back
