Determine which active directory object is referred to by GUID in a Directory Synchronization Error Report
- by Michael Shimmins
We have active directory syncronization setup between our on-premises AD server and Microsoft hosted Exchange (business productivity online services).
I've started getting a daily error report, which details an error for a specific AD user, however it references it by GUID. I can't find any info on how to translate that object guid into something meaningful so I can find and fix the problem.
The error is reported as:
Error 005: Unable to set the alias for this object in Microsoft Online Services because either the primary SMTP address, the e-mail nickname, or the SAM account name in the local Active Directory contains an invalid character.
in reference to the Object GUID:
CN={8443cbb4-5199-49f0-9529-ce965430dca6}
How can I translate that object guid into a friendly object name?
