Cannot add an additional mailbox to a MAPI profile in Exchange 2000 Server

Article ID: 833399 – Last Review: September 6, 2011 – Revision: 3.0

When you try to add an additional Exchange mailbox to an existing MAPI profile, you receive one of the following error messages:
The name could not be resolved. The action could not be completed.

The name cannot be resolved. The action cannot be completed.

For example, this issue occurs after you follow these steps
to add an additional mailbox to a MAPI profile:

  1. In Control Panel, double-click Mail, and
    then click Show Profiles.
  2. Click the profile that you want to modify, click
    Properties, click E-mail Accounts, and then
    click Next.
  3. In the Name list, click Microsoft
    Exchange Server
    , click Change, and then click
    More Settings.
  4. Click the Advanced tab, and then click
    Add.
This issue may occur if another object that has the same LegacyExchangeDN attribute as the Exchange Server exists in the Active Directory
directory service. This object may exist in the
LostAndFoundConfig container container. In this scenario, the
101e6613 registry key is
absent from the following registry subkey on the client computer where you
cannot add an additional Exchange mailbox to the profile:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWindows Messaging SubsystemProfiles13dbb0c8aa05101a9bb000aa002fc45a

Warning If you use the ADSI Edit snap-in, the LDP utility, or any other
LDAP version 3 client, and you incorrectly modify the attributes of Active
Directory objects, you can cause serious problems. These problems may require
you to reinstall Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Microsoft Windows Server 2003,
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, or both Windows
and Exchange. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems that occur if you
incorrectly modify Active Directory object attributes can be solved. Modify
these attributes at your own risk.

To
search for this LegacyExchangeDN attribute in the directory, use the LDP utility against
a Global Catalog.

Note The default port is 3268.

To do this, follow these
steps:

  1. Open the ldp.exe tool.
  2. On the Browse menu,
    click Search.
  3. In
    the Filter
    field, paste the LegacyExchangeDN string
    of the impacted server:

    legacyExchangeDN=/o=OrganizationName/ou=AdministrativeGroupName/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=ServerName

  4. Set the Scope to the
    Subtree option,
    and then
    click Run.
  5. If the search returns two entries, you must investigate in
    the output, and determine which object has the same
    LegacyExchangeDN attribute as the Exchange server computer.

If an object that has the same name as the Exchange computer
appears in the LostAndFoundConfig container, remove it. To do
this, follow these steps:

  1. Start the ADSI Edit snap-in. To do this, click
    Start, click Run, type
    adsiedit.msc in the Open box, and then
    click OK.

    Note ADSI Edit is included with the Microsoft Windows 2000 Support
    Tools.

  2. Connect to a domain controller if you are not already
    connected to a domain controller.
  3. Expand Configuration Container
    servername.example.com
    , expand
    CN=Configuration,DC=example,DC=com,
    and then click CN=LostAndFoundConfig.
  4. View the contents of the right pane. If an object that has
    the same name as the Exchange computer appears in the right pane, right-click
    that object, and then click Delete. Click Yes
    to confirm the removal of the object.
  5. Quit ADSI Edit.
  6. On the Exchange computer, restart all the Exchange-related services.


To work around this issue, copy the missing
101e6613 registry entry
from a correctly functioning profile.

Note This workaround resolves the issue for the current user. However,
you must perform this workaround every time that you create a new user.

To copy this registry value, follow these steps:

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
