Unable to generate the e-mail address; the address type is not valid.

Explanation

This Error event indicates that the System Attendant found the proxy address type was invalid and could not generate an e-mail address of this type. This error will occur one time for each object the System Attendant tries to process. This error typically occurs when an address type has been corrupted. The address types are found in the Configuration context of Active Directory under Services/Microsoft Exchange/<Organization>/Addressing/Address-Types. You can use an Active Directory tool such as ADSI Edit to access the Address-Types container.

User Action

To resolve this error, follow one or more of these steps:

  • If the address type is for third-party software, contact the software vendor.

  • If the address type is for one of the standard address types, such as SMTP and X.400, contact Microsoft Product Support Services. For information about how to contact support, visit Microsoft Help and Support.
