Cause

This issue occurs because the light version of Outlook Web App uses a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) query that references the showInAddressbook attribute to retrieve the user’s information from the global catalog server. However, the user does not have the showInAddressbook attribute. Therefore, a MissingArgumentException exception is thrown.
