post create mailbox returns error system attendant

Question

I've a Bussiness Rule "user>after>create an exchange mailbox for an user" (assigned over all objects) which returns the following error:

Error code -2146233088 occurred with message Kan postvak /o=CT/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=[sername]/cn=Microsoft System Attendant niet openen.. (translated can not open.....)

The mailbox itself is created, there are no errors in the logfiles of the Exchange server. The Exchange server itself works ok, I can create/modify/move mailboxes succesfully. How to resolve this?

Thnx Remco

I,ve created a Custom Command with the same action and then all works OK. I thought it could be an AD sync issue so I created a powersehll script which executes a 5 sec sleep before the "post create mailbox" job, to no avail...

spoke to soon, forgot to refresh exchange console... Error is caused by the AD sync and the 5 sec. sleep does do the trick. However shouldn't Adaxes not take care for this?

Thnx Remco

Hello Remco,

When performing any Exchange tasks, Adaxes uses Exchange management cmdlets. The cmdlets allow to specify the domain controller to be used for the operation, and Adaxes always passes the DC it is working with when calling Exchange cmdlets to avoid replication issues. However, as far as we know from Microsoft's documentation, the DC will be forced only for writing the configuration change into the AD. For all other tasks that Exchange will need to accomplish in order to complete the requested operation, the DC will be selected solely by Exchange. There is no way to force Exchange to use a specific DC for such tasks.
