Symptoms

Assume that you apply Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2010 SP2. Then, you try to open an additional mailbox in Outlook Web App. The primary SMTP email address of the additional mailbox isn't in the accepted domain list. In this situation, you receive the following error message:

Cause

This issue occurs because of a design change that was introduced in Update Rollup 4 for Exchange 2010 Service Pack 2.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, add the primary SMTP email domain of the additional mailbox to the accepted domain list. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, and then click Exchange Management Console.

  2. In the Exchange Management Console tree, click Organization Configuration, and then click Hub Transport.

  3. In the result pane, click the Accepted Domains tab, right-click an empty area, click New Accepted Domain, and then follow the New Accepted Domain wizard to create the accepted domain.
