Explanation

This Warning event indicates that the recipient object specified in the event description is in an inconsistent state. An inconsistent state means that one or more attributes of the specified recipient object contain corrupted or invalid values. A recipient object is considered a Fully Consistent object if the following conditions are true:

  • All its attributes contain valid values.

  • These values are consistent with other attributes.

This event indicates that the specified recipient object is inconsistent and will be ignored.

User Action

To resolve this warning, do the following:

  1. Increase diagnostic logging so that you can determine which attributes or properties contain invalid values. Specifically, increase the diagnostic logging level on the Validation counter of the MSExchange ADAccess performance object to High. For detailed information about how to increase logging, see Manage Diagnostic Logging Levels.

  2. Review the additional MSExchangeADAccess events in the Application log to determine which attributes or properties contain invalid values.

    Important   After you have completed troubleshooting this issue, return logging to the default level, Lowest.
