Message Text

Unable to generate e-mail addresses because no valid e-mail address types were specified.

Explanation

This Error event indicates that the Microsoft Exchange e-mail address generator could not find any valid address types in the Address-Types container in Active Directory. The address types are found in the Configuration context of Active Directory under Services/Microsoft Exchange/<Organization>/Addressing/Address-Types. You can use an Active Directory tool such as ADSI Edit to access the Address-Types container..

User Action

To resolve this error, follow one or more of these steps:

  • Use Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) Edit or the LDIFDE utility to extract the list of address types from Active Directory. The following is an example LDIFDE command:

    Ldifde -f addressTypes.wri -d "cn=address-types,cn=addressing,cn=[first organization],cn=microsoft exchange,cn=services,cn=configuration,dc=contoso,dc=com", L cn,

    Note

    You must modify this example to reflect the first organization and Active Directory domain of your organization.

  • Examine the list of address types. The address types should contain the standard list of address types, GWISE:AMD64, GWISE:i386, NOTES:AMD64, NOTES:i386, SMTP:AMD64, SMTP:i386, and X400:AMD64, X400:i386. These address types are set during the installation of Exchange. If the list of address types does not match the standard list of address types, contact Microsoft Product Support Services for help. For information about how to contact support, visit Microsoft Help and Support.
