5. Known Issues

1. If you face below issue in "Sync data from backend" or some other operation where result of MAPIHTTPEnabled attribute is returned as "Null" / "Blank".

Error getting recipient details from Exchange Server: Error getting Mailboxes information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. IP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Solution:

For some mailboxes MAPIHTTPEnabled value is Blank/Null, this causes error in "Sync data from Backend" and CASMailbox settings manipulation. Please run below script on Exchange PowerShell to set default value to True or False:

Code / PowerShell Script:

Get-CASMailbox -resultsize unlimited | Where {$_.MAPIHTTPEnabled -eq $null} | Set-CASMailbox -MAPIHTTPEnabled $true

It may take time depending on number of mailboxes with Null value.

Once this is done, repeat / re-run the operation from panel that was previously failing.

2. Problem in connecting to Outlook for MAPI Enabled, please review below KB and make changes as per requirement:
