Failed to create mailbox for SOM_Mailbox_SG1_SG1MB1
Error: 424 Object required -
Cause
When specifying the Organizational Unit parameter, you must specify the Distingushed name (DN) for the Organization Unit (OU).
-
Resolution
Specify the Distingushed name for the Organizational Unit.
For example: OU=TestUsers,DC=Domainname,DC=COM
If you want to use the Users container to place the accounts in you need to specify CN=Users rather then OU=Users as the Users container is not an Organizational Unit.
For exampe: CN=Users,DC=Domainname,DC=COM
