When you try to access Address List on OWA, you receive a message error like this: Request Url: https://<server-ip-address>:443/owa/forms/premium/DirectoryView.aspx?ae=AddressList&t=Recipients&a=Pick User host address: <ip-address>User: <user-name>EX Address: /o=XX/ou=GR/cn=RECIPIENTS/cn=SOMEONESMTP Address: <smtp-address>OWA version: 8.0.605.16 This error may occur if the OWA client and Domain Controller do not have the same locale setting.
