#550 5.1.1 RESOLVER.ADR.ExRecipNotFound; not found ##

Problem is a delegate’s mailbox was deleted and/or user account is disabled. Exchange mailbox is still having “hidden SID” about the disabled/deleted delegate information (in the current Boss’s mailbox).

Solution is easy. You will have to use Exchange Management Shell (powershell) to overwrite new existing delegates list.

I have seen on other forums that people are asking how do you remove an disabled delegate.  You can’t remove the invisible delegate. You can only overwrite the delegate list.

1. Open Exchange Management Shell.
2. Type Set-Mailbox -Identity "Mailbox Name" –GrantSendOnBehalfTo <Delegate User Names separated by coma>

On the command above, you have list all active delegates user names separated by coma.

E.g., Set-Mailbox –Identity BossMan –GrantSendOnBehalfTo “ExecutiveAdmin1”,”ExecutiveAdmin2”
