Hi, i've written a gui around powershell to create users and there mailboxes. I first creating the user and after that i make the mailbox. I will run my tool from behind my worstation Command: enable-Mailbox -Identity OurDomain\PUK -Database "OurExchangeServer\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database" But the command returns a error: Enable-Mailbox : The Name property contains leading or trailing whitespace, which must be removed. At line:1 char:15 + enable-Mailbox <<<< -Identity andreas\PUK -Database "OurExchangeServer\First Storage Group\Mailbo x Database" + CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (OurDomain/A...n/Puk P. VanDe :ADObjectId ) [Enable-Mailbox], DataValidationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : E7473FB4,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.Enab leMailbox What am i doing wrong i dont get it because i've used this command before to create mailboxes without any problem. What ever i try i cant get it to work anymore :( Jos

That's by design you need to fix those accounts first, having leading or trailing white space is not rfc compliant.

If you can enable his mailbox with your code, It should be the issue.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
