Issues When Deploying Exchange 2010 In A Domain That Has “.” In Netbios Name…

by Rajith Jose Enchiparambil on May 10, 2010

I came across a blog post which details issues with Exchange 2010 when deployed in a domain that has a “dot” in its NETBIOS name.

Launching EMC 2010 and clicking on “Exchange On-Premises” displays the following error:

Initialization failed

“The following error occurred when getting user information from ‘domain.comusername’: The operation couldn’t be performed because the object ‘domain.comusername’ couldn’t be found on domaincontroller.domain.com. It was running the command ‘Get-LogonUser’.

The issue will be fixed in the next update rollup (UR4) for Exchange 2010. You can call Microsoft Support for a custom fix if you have already deployed 2010 in production.

Cannot Open Microsoft System Attendant Mailbox Error During Exchange 2013 Mailbox Move

A local mailbox move in Exchange 2013 fails with the error that the System Attendant Mailbox cannot be opened. I thought System Attendant was a thing of the past! Exchange 2013 doesn’t have system attendant mailbox or even the System Attendant service (mad.exe). But, the error clearly mentions about the failure to open the [...]

How To Find Which Store Worker Process Is Responsible For A Mailbox Database In Exchange 2013
