XADM: Importing Custom Recipient Logs Event ID 236

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to import a custom recipient through the Exchange Administrator Program by using Directory Import on the Tools menu, the following stop error Event ID 236 may be logged in the application log.

Event ID:236
Source: MSExchangeDSImp
Type: Error
Category: None

Unable to process custom recipient Name of custom recipient because target address SMTP:(user@company_name.com) has already been assigned to Address Book entry /o=DomainName/ou=Site/cn=Recipients/cn=user.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if you are importing a custom recipient that has an SMTP alias that already exists. When the same address already exists for the user you are importing, you cannot import the custom recipient.

RESOLUTION

Edit the .csv file and change the duplicate e-mail address for the specified custom recipient. Try the directory import operation again.
