Event ID 9554

If you see the following error on your Exchange server,

Event ID 9554: Unable to update Mailbox SD in the DS. Mailbox Guid: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Error Code 0x8004010f

This is due to permission error on the mailbox.

To resolve this issue, you will need to locate the mailbox and add back the “Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object” to it.
