Exchange Troubleshooting: Active Directory operation failed on DC. This error is not retriable

  • Article

Issue

When you try to move a mailbox from Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, following error occurred:

Error:
Active Directory operation failed on *DomainController*. This error is not retriable. Additional information: Insufficient access rights to perform the operation.
Active directory response: 00002098: SecErr: DSID-03150E8A, problem 4003 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0

The user has insufficient access rights.

Exchange Management Shell command attempted:
’*OUStructure*’ | New-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase ‘Mailbox Database 1985885663′ -BadItemLimit ‘-1′

Solution

To resolve this error…..by editing the Advanced Security Settings for that user,

  • Open Active Directory Users and Computers
  • Find the user of which the mailbox error occured
  • Open the properties of the user and go to the security tab (if this is not available, choose view and then advanced features in the AD users and computers under MMC)
  • Click on [Advanced]
  • Check the box at the bottom which says “Include inheritable permissions from this object’s parent” and then click [OK] twice.
