    Hi,

     

    i've written a gui around powershell to create users and there mailboxes. I first creating the user and after that i make the mailbox. I will run my tool from behind my worstation

    Command:

    enable-Mailbox -Identity OurDomain\PUK -Database "OurExchangeServer\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database"

     

    But the command returns a error:

    Enable-Mailbox : The Name property contains leading or trailing whitespace, which must be
     removed.
    At line:1 char:15
    + enable-Mailbox <<<<  -Identity andreas\PUK -Database "OurExchangeServer\First Storage Group\Mailbo
    x Database"
        + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (OurDomain/A...n/Puk P. VanDe :ADObjectId
       ) [Enable-Mailbox], DataValidationException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : E7473FB4,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.Enab

    That's by design you need to fix those accounts first, having leading or trailing white space is not rfc compliant.

    Hi,

     

     

    You could test to enable a single recipient mailbox without space in  alias first. If you can enable his mailbox with your code, It should be the issue.
