Cannot add email addresses to some sites with different OUs

We have a new Exchange 2003 installation with no prior Exchange services on
the network. We have multiple remote locations, and each location has it's OU
identified within ADUC. For most locations/OUs, the email addresses are
generated as expected. For other OUs, the email addresses are never generated
for the users under those OUs. I've looked though the group policy associated
with broken and working OUs, I don't see anything that would cause a problem.
For locations that work properly, there is typically only one change in the
group policies, and that deals with a PC's hibernation. I presume there is a
permissions problem someone, but I'm not sure where to start looking. Thank
you. Allyn

Can you just check the Recipient Policy. Have you got ANY filtering on
it or is it set to issue an address to everybody in the directory.

No, there aren't any filters. There is a default policy, but nothing has been
added.

I ended up contacting Microsoft, and they resolved the problem. Within
ADSIEdit, several OU's under Domains did not have the "inherit permissions"
check marked (under security tab, advanced button).
