SYMPTOMS
The Active Directory Connector (ADC) may not replicate mailboxes over to Active Directory when the replication logging level is turned up (to at least Medium). In addition, the following event ID message may be logged in the Application event log:

Event ID: 8285 Event Type: Warning

Event Source: MSADC

Event Category: Replication

Description:

ADC will not replicate from  to   because both objects are not mailbox enabled. The source object is a mailbox. The target object is either a Contact or a mail enabled user. If this is a problem, consider making the Connection Agreement an Inter-Organizational Connection Agreement. (Connection Agreement  #####)



CAUSE
If the ADC finds certain attributes on a user, the ADC does not overwrite these attributes. The following attributes can cause the ADC to fail:
 * Attributes added when you create a mailbox:
 * homeMDB:
 * legacyExchangeDN:
 * mailNickname:
 * homeMTA:
 * msExchHomeServerName:
 * msExchMailboxGuid:
 * msExchMailboxSecurityDescriptor:
 * mDBUseDefaults:
 * Attributes added by the Recipient Update Service:
 * mail:
 * proxyAddresses:
 * showInAddressBook:
 * textEncodedORAddress:
 * msExchUserAccountControl:
 * msExchALObjectVersion:
 * msExchPoliciesIncluded:



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, remove any attributes that are listed in the preceding section. When you remove these attributes, the two problem objects link.

Note When you remove these attributes, the user is no longer mail-enabled.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
