Cause
For various reasons, Exchange attributes may be mismatched with
Active Directory objects. This usually occurs if multiple mailboxes
in Exchange 5.5 have the same primary Windows NT account, but those
mailboxes were not marked to identify which mailbox should be
matched to the user account in Active Directory.
Solution
To resolve this issue, use Exchange Task Wizard to remove
the Exchange attributes and then properly prepare the Exchange 5.5
directory by marking resource mailboxes. Finally, you need to run
your properly configured ADC Connection Agreements.
Warning Do
not attempt to remove Exchange attributes until you have discussed
the need to perform this procedure with Microsoft Product Support.
For the most up-to-date information about how to remove Exchange
attributes, see the Microsoft
Knowledge Base .
To properly match Exchange attributes with Active Directory
objects:
- Stop the Active Directory Connector service.
- Use Exchange Task Wizard to remove
Exchange attributes from the Active Directory objects you want
to reconnect.
- Ensure that your connection agreements are properly set
up.
- Remove the ADC-Global-Names attribute from the mismatched
mailboxes in the Exchange 5.5 directory.
- Use the NTDSAtrb utility to identify and mark resource
mailboxes
- Run your properly configured ADC Connection Agreements.
