Exchange Recipient Policies don't work when enabled with QAD commands.

This looks like you are not passing commands through Active Roles.

Any attributes which start with edsva or edsa are virtual or computed attributes which require that commands be proxied through Active Roles in order for them to function properly.

Try using this cmdlet to proxy commands through Active Roles:

Connect-QADService -proxy

$qadcontact = Get-QADObject -Identity "TESTPOSH" -Type "Contact" -IncludedProperties EmailAddressPolicyEnabled
$qadcontact | Set-QADObject -objectattributes @{"edsva-MsExch-ApplyEmailAddressPolicy"="TRUE"}

I'm proxying.  The contact never picks up the change.  If I went to the exchange console and checked the box it would update automatically.

Let me rephrase.  The EmailAddressPolicy attrib does get set to TRUE.  Exchange doesn't see it.

Does this functionality work with other Active Roles clients, like the Active Roles Console or the Active Roles Web Interface?

Yes

That's very interesting. If you check the Active Roles Change History on an object which you have changed in the Active Roles Management Shell and an object which you have changed in the Active Roles Console, do you see any difference?

I don't see anything different that I can tell.

Would you mind posting screenshots?

Please make sure that "Properties changed during this operation" is expanded.

Interesting note.

If I create the contact in AD and Mail enable it, then disable the address policy and delete the addresses, then run the QAD commands, the addresses come back.  So checking the box does work.

So now it's trying to understand why when I create the contact in the first place why it didn't work.

When creating a contact through QAD posh commands although I can individually update attributes it's as if Exchange doesn't recognize it.

I deleted and recreated the item through QAD commands.  No matter what I do with the recipient policies after they are not honored.

New-QADObject -Type "Contact" -ParentContainer "lab.com/lab" -Name "TESTPOSH2" `
-ObjectAttributes @{displayName="TESTPOSH2";mailNickname="TESTPOS2H";mail="TESTPOSH2@TESTPOSH.com";targetAddress="TESTPOSH2@TESTPOSH.com";proxyAddresses="SMTP:TESTPOSH2@TESTPOSH.com";"edsva-CaseID"="1111";"edsva-MsExch-ApplyEmailAddressPolicy"="TRUE"}
