Description:Could not modify user/group: 'CN=HIDDEN DL NAME,OU=ORG,DC=DOMAIN,DC=COM'. DC=DOMAIN,DC=COM

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the Recipient Update Service encounters a distribution list/distribution group that has its membership hidden. When the Recipient Update Service encounters one of these distribution lists, it logs an error in the Application event log, and then goes to sleep for 30 minutes. After the 30 minutes have elapsed, the Recipient Update Service tries to update the distribution group again.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, give the Exchange Enterprise Servers group the appropriate rights. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Start the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in.
  2. Click View, and then ensure that the Advanced Features check box is checked.
  3. Right-click the domain object and click Properties.
  4. Click the Security tab.
  5. In the Name box, click the Exchange Enterprise Servers group.
  6. Click the Advanced button.
  7. Scroll down and click the entry for the Exchange Enterprise Servers group that has Special permissions which apply to group objects.
  8. Click the View/Edit button.
  9. Locate the Modify Permissions attribute and click to select the check box in the Allow column.
  10. Click OK until all the windows are closed.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.

MORE INFORMATION

This issue occurs when the Recipient Update Service tries to process a distribution list that has the hideDLMembership attribute set to True, but the security of the group has not been changed to reflect the hidden membership setting. This may occur if the distribution list is created by a tool such as AutoDL. In this case, the Recipient Update Service tries to modify the security descriptor of the group, but it does not have permission to do so. This issue does not occur if the distribution list was created by using the Active Directory Connector or by using Active Directory Users and Computers. In this case, the Active Directory Connector or the administrator who is using Active Directory Users and Computers modifies the security of the group object to make the membership hidden. The issue also does not occur if the Recipient Update Service is running on a domain controller.
