Set-Mailbox Failed Error:Couldn't find object

August 13, 2012
Some times when we delete user mailbox, and the user email still exist in other email accounts as (send on behalf) for example, then if we try to for example to grant (send on behalf permission) for new user, we might will receive error like the following:  


My Solution:
go to      AD Users & Groups-----> then select email account having problem----->properties---->
select Attribute Editor------>select PUBLIC DELEGATES----->then remove the error mailbox account.

this should solve the problem.

Enjoy

    FYI I had this same error. It was caused when I recreated someones AD account that was having issues. I then attached their old mailbox to the new account.

    Unfortunately ADSI edit did not show anything in the field suggested. I resolved the problem by removing the old AD account being referenced as it was no longer needed.
