The Address Book custom properties couldn't be parsed. %n%nRootElementNotFound in "%1" at line number = "%2". Make sure that this file contains "CustomProperties" as the root element.

Explanation

The specified file is used to configure a list of custom properties on users’ Active Directory objects that will be shown on the Microsoft Office Outlook Web App user properties page. This Error event indicates that the root element of the file is named something other than “CustomProperties”.

To resolve this error, do one or more of the following:

  • Open the specified file and rename the root element to "CustomProperties".

  • Resolve your issue by using self-support options, assisted support options, and other resources. You can access these resources from the Exchange Server Solutions Center. From this page, click Self-Support Options in the navigation pane to use self-help options. Self-help options include searching the Microsoft Knowledge Base, posting a question at the Exchange Server forums, and other methods. Alternatively, in the navigation pane, you can click Assisted Support Options to contact a Microsoft support professional. Because your organization may have a specific procedure for directly contacting Microsoft Product Support Services, be sure to review your organization's guidelines first.
