How to add mailboxes in exchange 2010 SP1
I have exchange 2010 SP1 and I am trying to add a mailbox under recipient configuration. The user
I want to add isn't in the list of objects. So I start to add him and select create mailbox for existing user. I can locate him and select him and at the end I get Error: Property Expression " name of user" isn't valid. Valid values are: Strings that includes '@' where '@' cannot be the last character.
Thanks,

Is there a @ in the username? Remove the @ using Active Directory Users and Computers
ASKER
No @ in the username. The user doesn't show up under mailbox. He is in active directory but just doesn't show up under mailbox. So I need to and him But if you try to add him and select existing user then you can select him and try to complete the wizard you get that error i described.
can you check if the alias has an @ sysmbol when adding mialbox
ASKER
No @ symbol for alias.
Have a look at that account in ADSIEDIT and see if there is a @ symbol present in distinguishedName or any of the other values. UserprincipalName should have one, but it should not be on the start nor end of the value.
ASKER
After using ADSIEDIT I only found one @ symbol and that is for email. Nowhere else.
Apparently this can occur if there is a space at the beginning of the username or user alias. Check/change it with ADSIEdit
