Symptoms

When your UserPrincipalName (UPN) property references a child domain of the forest's fully qualified domain name (FQDN), the NT LAN Manager (NTLM) authentication fails in a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) session in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 environment.

Cause

This issue occurs because of a bug in the code that causes the UPN of the user in a child domain of the forest to not match the FQDN of the forest during the NTLM authentication process.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, install Cumulative Update 9 for Exchange Server 2013.

Workaround

To work around this issue, change the UPN of the user to match the FQDN of the forest.
