SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to open a new profile, you may receive a
Check Name dialog box with the following error message:
The name could not be resolved. The name could not be matched to a name
in
the address list.
CAUSE
The mailbox alias or name attempting to be resolved has
been hidden from the Exchange Server Address Book.
WORKAROUND
Open the Exchange Administrator program and temporarily
unhide the recipient from the Address Book by following these steps:
- From the View menu, select Hidden Recipients.
- Double click the Recipients container and highlight the
mailbox desired.
- Double click to view the properties of the mailbox.
- Select the Advanced tab and uncheck the "Hide from Address
Book" option.
- The name can be resolved at this point. Once this is
completed, you can hide the name from the Address Book again if
needed.
