Error Message: Exchange MAPI Management Agent DAPIWrite Failed with DAPI Error 0xc000011e (260907)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Metadirectory Services 2.1
This article was previously published under Q260907

SYMPTOMS

The following error message may occur when you try to update a Microsoft Exchange server with custom recipients by using the Exchange MAPI management agent (MA). This error message is generated for all foreign entries that are being exported by that MA:
Error was encountered in function : HrDoImport calling DAPIWrite.. Error message :

DAPIWrite for Mailbox /o=mms/ou=charlotte/cn=recipients/cn=custom/cn=User's Name [username@Name.Domain.com] failed with DAPI error 0xc000011e.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the distinguished name (DN) for the Exchange Custom Recipients container does not match the DN of the container on the Exchange server to which you are trying to push custom recipients. Because the display name and directory name of an object can be different in Exchange, it is important to note that the DN is built by using the object's directory name.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue:
  1. Log on to Microsoft Metadirectory Services (MMS) by using the Compass client.
  2. Click the Exchange MAPI MA for which the error messages are being generated.
  3. Click Configure the Management Agent.
  4. Click the Custom Recipients tab.
  5. In the Custom Recipients Management section, verify that the Exchange Custom Recipient container distinguished name entry matches the DN for the container in which the custom recipients will reside on the Exchange server.
To obtain the DN for the Exchange Custom Recipients container:
  1. Start the Exchange Server Administrator tool in Raw mode.
  2. Find and click the container that will hold the custom recipients.
  3. On the File menu, click Raw Properties to view the properties for the Exchange object.
  4. Click the Obj-Dist-Name object attribute and note the attribute value. This is the DN that you should use to populate the Exchange Custom Recipient container distinguished name box.
