Recipient Validation

Recipient objects in Exchange 2007 fall under a more strict "validation" scheme than they did in previous versions of Exchange. This means that if some property is incorrect or missing on the recipient object, there is higher-level logical enforcement that this property must be corrected before the object will successfully validate as being in a good state. This is done to help ensure that these recipient objects are not corrupted in some way which would cause them not to function properly.

If a recipient object does not successfully validate when it is read from the AD, a warning will be reported to detail the cause of the failure(s). It may also prevent the action you were attempting, such as: moving the mailbox, saving other properties to the recipient object, etc until the object passes validation.

Here is a list of some of the known validation failures and effective ways to resolve the corruption:

1) Display name has leading or trailing whitespace

WARNING: Object Domain.com/Users/TestUser has been corrupted and it is in an inconsistent state. The following validation errors have been encountered:
WARNING: The DisplayName property contains leading or trailing whitespace, which must be removed.

This can be fixed by "trimming" the invalid whitespace from the displayname with a cmdlet one-liner like:
Get-Mailbox | Foreach { Set-Mailbox -Identity $_.Id -DisplayName $_.DisplayName.Trim() }

2) Alias (mailnickname) has spaces.

Identify all recipients with this issue with a simple LDAP query - (&(objectclass=*)(mailnickname=* *))

3) Extension Attributes: PSH and AD Schema Conflict

WARNING: Object fwf.net/Operations/User Test01. User has been corrupted and it is in an inconsistent state. The following validation errors have been encountered:
WARNING: CustomAttribute15 is too long: maximum length is 2048, actual length is 2500.

Extension Attributes are renamed back to Custom Attributes in PSH. PSH does not reference the AD schema for attribute properties, it uses its own lookup table. Therefore, even if the AD schema has been manually modified to allow greater than 2048 length for a "Custom Attribute" value, PSH will mark the recipient using this larger size as invalid. This maximum length was changed in Beta builds from 1024 to 2048, but does not reference the AD schema size definition if has been customized.

Hi Ed,

These errors are caused by a space in the ex2003 mbx alias.

These mbxs' wont migrate to ex2007 unless the syntax is corrected

Has anyone run into this? Is there a bulk way to correct it?

least one of the other characters. Unicode characters from U+00A1 to U+00FF are also valid in an alias, but they will be mapped to a best-fit US-ASCII string in the

It just occurred to me that Exchange 200x could include 2007. What I mean to say is that it looks like you are trying to administer Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 recipients with Exchange 2007 administrative tools.

Below is a cut & paste from the output of a Get_Recipient command, which is the same as selecting the recipients in the GUI

Yes, The errors seem somewhat straightforward, has any one else run into this? This will effect the migration from 03>07.
