SYMPTOMS
========

After you set up the Active Directory Connector (ADC) to replicate mailboxes
from Exchange Server 5.5 to Active Directory, the Properties' General tab that
shows the home server for the mailbox for the account is not displayed on some
user accounts.

In addition, the following event may be reported in the application event log:

  Event Type: Warning
  Event Source: MSADC
  Event Category: (1)
  Event ID: 8285
  Date: 10/27/2000
  Time: 5:15:28 PM
  User: N/A
  Computer: Computername
  Description:
  ADC will not replicate from cn=Mailbox,cn=Recipients,ou=Sitename,o=OrgName to
  CN=Mailbox,OU=Users,DC=Domain,DC=local because both objects are not mailbox
  enabled. The source object is a mailbox. The target object is either a
  Contact or a mail enabled user. If this is a problem, consider making the
  Connection Agreement an Inter-Organizational Connection Agreement.
  (Connection Agreement 'Exchange to Windows' #540)

CAUSE
=====

This issue may occur if the Windows 2000 account already has an e-mail address
associated with it.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue:

1. Start the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, right-click the
  Windows 2000 account, and then click Properties.

2. Click the General tab, clear the E-mail box, and then click OK.

3. Open the Active Directory Connector snap-in, and click the recipient
  Connection Agreement that is used to replicate that mailbox from Exchange
  Server 5.5 to Active Directory.

4. Right-click Connection Agreement, and then click Replicate Now.

5. Allow enough time for the replication to occur.
