SYMPTOMS

When you try to move a mailbox by using either the Data Synchronization Manager or the Exchange System Manager component, you may receive the following error message:
There is no such object on the server.

Note To locate this option, open the mailbox properties, and then click the Advanced tab. Note the Hide from Address Book check box.
