Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a computer that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.
  • You create a parent address list and a child address list in the Exchange Management Console.
  • You change the name of the parent address list.
  • You run one of the following three cmdlets: Set-Mailbox, Set-User, or Set-Mailuser�in the Exchange Management Shell. The target user belongs to the child address list.
In this scenario, you receive an error message. For example, when you run the following cmdlet: �
Set-Mailbox -Identity <user> -<attribute parameter> <attribute value>
You receive the following error message:

Set-Mailbox: Active Directory operation failed on <FQDN of Exchange Server>. This error is not retriable. Additional information: The name reference is invalid.

This may be caused by replication latency between Active Directory domain controllers.
