Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You install Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) in hosting mode by using the /hosting switch.

  • You create two tenant organizations (organization 1 and organization 2) in the Exchange Server 2010 SP1 environment.

  • Organization 1 contains a mail-enabled user (user A).

  • You create an external contact in organization 2 for user A.

  • You run the Start-ManagedFolderAssistant cmdlet so that the Managed Folder Assistant will process user A’s mailbox in organization 1.

In this scenario, the Managed Folder Assistant does not process the mailbox. Additionally, the following event is logged in the Application log:

Cause

This issue occurs because the Managed Folder Assistant uses a global scope incorrectly and does not use a unique identifier to open the mailbox. Therefore, two objects that have the same Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) address are returned, and the Managed Folder Assistant does not process the mailbox.


Resolution

To resolve this issue, install the following update rollup:
