Assume that a user belongs to a child domain in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 environment. You try to create or update an In-Place eDiscovery & Hold search for the user by running the New-MailboxSearch cmdlet or the Set-MailboxSearch cmdletfrom the root domain. In this situation, you receive the following error message:

Errors:
The Active Directory user wasn't found, /o=GM/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=9ca72100e77c493e96893e9bebf361b2-WZ46K6.
