When you try to run the new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 script to create the test user account for the Test-OutlookWebservice and other tests in your Exchange 2010, the below error may be occure. "CreateTestUser : Mailbox could not be created. Verify that OU ( Users ) exists and that password meets complexity requirements" The error will continue to generate even though if you give complex password. This is because, there could be another OU exists in your organization with the name "Users" and which creates issue to the script.All you need to do is to update the assigned value to the $OrganizationalUnit variable with "domain.local/Users" in the new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1. Run the script again, and it should create the test user successfully. -Praveen

You need JavaScript enabled to view it.") can send email to the specific user, "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.".

You may look/try one of the below reasons/options to work around or fix this issue (go one by one), The user "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it." has added the external user “This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.” into his/her blocked senders list of outlook client (sender restriction) by mistake. Remove it and try sending the test email again. Disable the Sender Filtering Agent (this is to isolate sender filtering configuration). See if there…
