Warning - validation error

Hello,

For a while now I have been getting a warning every time I open a distribution group or mail-enabled security group in the on-prem admin center. 

"The object removed has been corrupted or isn't compatible with Microsoft support requirements, and it's in an inconsistent state. The following validation errors happened:
The access control entry defines the ObjectType 'a8df73ef-c5ea-11d1-bbcb-0080c76670c0' that can't be resolved.."

 

As far as I can figure 'a8df73ef-c5ea-11d1-bbcb-0080c76670c0' referrs to the 'Employee Number' LDAP attribute, which a group object does not have? 
It doesn't appear to cause any issues, but I would still like to fix the problem. 

Anyone got any ideas to what might be causing this error? We are running Exchange 2016 CU16 in a hybrid environment.

      Thank you for the suggestion.
      I ran "Get-Mailbox -monitoring" but found no errors there.

        Gly Hey, try this then 🙂

        What I want to highlight is this.

         

        1. Run the IISReset on all Exchange server.
        2. If reset IIS does work, reboot all Exchange server and check the result.
