Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You create a linked mailbox (MB1) on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 mailbox server in an Active Directory forest (forest A).
  • MB1 is associated with a disabled account user A in the forest A.
  • MB1 is linked to a linked master account user B in the trust forest B.
  • User A is a member of the domain local group.
  • You assign Full Access permission for another linked mailbox (MB2) in forest A to user B. 
  • User B tries to access MB2 by using Microsoft Office Outlook.
In this scenario, user B can access MB2 as an additional mailbox. However, user B cannot use a new profile to access MB2 as a primary mailbox. Additionally, the credential window pops up when user B types in credentials.
