    Hi Magdy,

    When you say  "i don't see user" which user are you refering to.

    Do a get-user on the missing user or all users, what are the user's RecipientType listed as? 

    [PS] C:\Scripts>get-user *Satya*

Name                                                         RecipientType
----                                                         -------------
Satyajit                                                     UserMailbox
SatyaTEST1                                                   UserMailbox
SatyaAdmin                                                   User

    To assign a mailbox it needs to be 'User' not 'UserMailbox'.

    Please note the default search scope is not ADSite based but AD Domain based. You can expand it to include entire forest as well.

    Then again if you are having some custom RBAC roles assigned the behaivour might change to which OU users can be managed and which not.

    Regards,

    Hi Hassan,

    Thank you for your question.

    By my understanding, we could run the following command to check if the Exchange connect to remote site :

    Get-ADServerSettings | FL

    If the Exchange connect to remote site, we could refer to the following steps to check if the issue persist:

    1.        Make sure the “Preferred DNS server” and “Alternate DNS server” and “Alternate DNS server” to point to main site
    2.        Then restart the service of “Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology” and run the command to check if the Exchange connect to the local site
    3.        If the issue persist, we could run the following command to configure the preferred domain controller:

    Set-ADServerSettings -PreferredServer mainsiteDC.contoso.com

    In addition, we should make sure DC replication between main site and remote site without any problems.

    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

    Best Regard,

    Jim

    Hi Magdy,

    Where does it show then, or it doesn't show up anywhere.

    Have you tried using the PowerShell cmdlets for Enabling mailboxes for an Existing User.

    Enable-Mailbox john@contoso.com -Database "MyServer\Mailbox Database"

    Also can you update on the earlier get-user post results.

    Regards,

    Satyajit

    Hi Magdy,

    When you run the command. Which DC get back? Remoter DC or local DC?

    Get-ADServerSettings | FL

    We could open EMC->Server Configuration->Modify configuration Domain Controller, then we could point to the specific DC to check if the issue persist.

    If not, we could refer to the following step to delete Window profile to check if the issue persist:

    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775638%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

    Best Regard,

    Jim

    Hi Magdy,

    Have you tried this.

    Use the EMC to change the recipient scope  also please confirm if PowerShell Enable-Mailbox works or not.
