Exchange 2010 - Test User

I'm trying to run the cmdlet test-outlookconnectivity and other test cmdlets, but they fail. I tried running the new-testcasconnectivityuser.ps1 script to create the test user they complain about, but it errors with an invalid error. I have the OU = Users and my password met the complexity requirements.

[PS] C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Scripts>.\new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1

egularly and automatically by the system.

Just a thought ...

I had a colleague with a similar issue - turned out to be a script error - he opened the script in notepad and found the line beginning “new-mailbox” – and deleted the parameter “–OrgainisationalUnit:$OrganistationalUnit”. This means the new user defaults to the default OU – Users!

Also, Looks like this can also occur if there's more than one OU called Users

Yeah this nearly always occurs because the script is a little stupid and defaults to Ou=users, you can modify the script to create the account anywhere.

I removed that line you said, but there is a user logon error now. I saw the user in extest in the Users OU.

Here is the error:

If you have not already done so, upgrade your Exchange 2010 server to SP1 RU5 (I know RU 6 is out but you never trust a new RU on the week it's released)
