A user was unable to log on to Outlook Web Access because the user's Active Directory profile does not have a primary SMTP address.

Explanation

This Error event indicates that the user referenced in the event description could not log on to their mailbox using Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access because their mailbox does not have a primary Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) address. Each user can have one or more SMTP addresses, but one of these addresses must be the primary address. The primary SMTP address displays in bold in the Exchange Management Console. This event may occur if the user mailbox was not created by using the Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell.

User Action

To resolve this error, follow these steps:

  1. Disable the mailbox for the user.

  2. Create a new mailbox for the user.

You can perform these procedures by using the Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell.

For information about how to disable a mailbox, see How to Disable a Mailbox.

For information about how to create a mailbox, see How to Create a Mailbox for a New User.
