SYMPTOMS
========

When you perform a directory import the following error message may be
displayed:

  Directory Import Complete
  XX Warning events were encountered but not logged.
  XX error descriptions were encountered in the system Application log.
  The file c:\csvfilename.err contains copies of all object descriptions
  containing errors.

The Csvfilename.err contains information about the object that the error was
generated by similar to the following:

  Mailbox,,"Display Name","Last Name","First Name",","Alias Name","Directory
  Name"...,Recipients

The following event ID is logged in the application event log:

  Event Type: Error
  Event Source: MSExchangeDSImp
  Event Category: None
  Event ID: 291
  Computer: Exchange_ServerName
  Description:
  Unable to create Mailbox Username because the required Home-Server
  attribute was not specified.

CAUSE
=====

This issue can occur because the import file needs the Home-Server column in the
header to create a new mailbox. The default mode is update, which creates the
object if it does not exist or modifies the object if it does exist.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, add the Home-Server column to the Header.csv file.
