Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You create a remote legacy move request to move a linked mailbox from a remote Exchange Server 2007 forest to an Exchange Server 2010 forest.
  • The move request is finished successfully.
  • You try to manage the mailbox from the remote Exchange Server 2007 forest. For example, you run the Get-recipient cmdlet in the remote Exchange Server 2007 forest to manage the mailbox.
In this scenario, you receive the following warning message:
Warning:
Object Domain/Users/LinkedMailbox has been corrupted and it is in an inconsistent state. The following validation errors have occurred:

Warning:
The value of property 'RecipientTypeDetails', 33554432, is not defined in the Enum type 'RecipientTypeDetails'.

Cause

This issue occurs because the Mailbox Replication Service (MRS) stamps the recipient type of the user as Linked User if the user’s mailbox is a linked mailbox. This recipient type cannot be recognized by the remote Exchange Server 2007forest.
