Back to the topCAUSE
This problem occurs because the ExchangeLegacyDN attribute of the server object does not match the ExchangeLegacyDN attribute for the user.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, run the following Exchange cmdlets.
Get-ExchangeServer -ID Servername |FL name, ExchangeLegacyDN
Get-Mailbox | FL Displayname, ServerLegacyDN
Examine the ServerLegacyDN attribute on the mailbox to determine whether it matches the ExchangeLegacyDN attribute on the server object. The cmdlets output will help determine the mailboxes that are mismatched. Correct the mismatched users, and then stop and restart the mailbox assistant service.
Note If there are more than 1000 mailboxes on the server, run the Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | FL Displayname, ServerLegacyDN cmdlet instead of the Get-Mailbox | FL Displayname, ServerLegacyDN cmdlet.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the Applies to section.
MORE INFORMATION
To correct the attribute for a user, back up the attribute, and then use a tool to correct the attribute. To back up the attribute, use the ADSIEdit tool or another tool.
