I am trying to add an entry in Recipient update service for a new child domain and it is failing with the following message:<br />
<br />
The specified group type is invalid.<br />
Facility: Win32<br />

I have run both domain prep and foresprep. &nbsp;I also have several other child domains that are working fine and have correct recipient service entries defined.
