I have a server with Exchange 2019
with two accepted domains : ex. domain1.com and domain2.com

when I add a new user in AD, or in Exchange admin,
the new user has automatically assigned the email with domain1.com

how do I make sure that the mailbox is on domain2 instead?
neither in edit user I can't change default mailbox.

sorry but sysadmin leaves and i never managed exchange servers.

    You can use an Email Address Policy based on some criteria or set manually when you add a new user

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/email-addresses-and-address-books/email-address-policies/eap-procedures?view=exchserver-2019

    If you cant change the default email address, uncheck this option, save, then set the new default address

    tnx for reply,

    but in "mail flow" i have found only default policy, with domain1.com,
    but there are already old users with "domain2.com"
    and I don't know how the old sysadmin has entered these users,
    also I checked shell history but haven't found how he added these users with mailbox "domain2.com"

    You dont need a policy. You can add manually
