Consider the following scenario:
  • You deploy Microsoft Exchange server and Microsoft Lync Server 2010 in an environment.

  • You set the user's primary Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) address as your secondary SMTP address. This prevents messages that are sent to the user from being rejected.
In this scenario, the user name is still in Lync 2010 when you search for it.
