The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5

This article was previously published under Q259503

SYMPTOMS

When you perform a directory import the following error message may be displayed:
Directory Import Complete
XX Warning events were encountered but not logged.
XX error descriptions were encountered in the system Application log.
The file c:\csvfilename.err contains copies of all object descriptions containing errors.
The Csvfilename.err contains information about the object that the error was generated by similar to the following:

Mailbox,,"Display Name","Last Name","First Name",","Alias Name","Directory Name"...,Recipients

The following event ID is logged in the application event log:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeDSImp
Event Category: None
Event ID: 291
Computer: Exchange_ServerName
Description:
Unable to create Mailbox Username because the required Home-Server
attribute was not specified.

CAUSE

This issue can occur because the import file needs the Home-Server column in the header to create a new mailbox. The default mode is update, which creates the object if it does not exist or modifies the object if it does exist.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, add the Home-Server column to the Header.csv file.
