Explanation

This Error event indicates that the Exchange e-mail address generator could not find the address type in the Address-Types container of Active Directory. All address types must be registered in Active Directory. You can find the Address-Types container in the Configuration context of Active Directory under Services/Microsoft Exchange/<Organization>/Addressing/Address-Types.

User Action

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

Use Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) Edit or the LDIFDE utility to extract the list of address types from Active Directory. The following is an example ldifde command:

Ldifde -f addressTypes.wri -d "cn=address-types,cn=addressing,cn=[first organization],cn=microsoft exchange,cn=services,cn=configuration,dc=contoso,dc=com", L cn,

Note:

You must modify this example to reflect the first organization and Active Directory domain of your organization.
Examine the list of cn attributes for the type reported in the error.
- If the address type reported in the error appears in the list, contact Microsoft Customer Support Services for help. For information about how to contact support, visit Microsoft Help and Support.
- If the address type reported in the error does not appear in the list, examine your e-mail address policies for a policy that has the address type specified in the error. Then remove the invalid type from the e-mail address policy. E-mail address policies are located in the Exchange Management Console at Organization Configuration/Hub Transport/E-mail Address Policies tab

Note:
You must modify this example to reflect the first organization and Active Directory domain of your organization.
