I have started having an issue when trying to change a user/mailboxes country/region through Exchange Admin Center in Exchange 2016.
When attempting to do so, I get this error:
Active Directory operation failed on DC. This error is not retriable. Additional information: Insufficient access rights to perform the operation.
Active Directory response: 00002098: SecErr: DSIS-03150E49, problem 4003 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0
Other reports of this error do not seem to have a resolution that applies to us. Oddly, If I go into ADUC, and find the same user account, I can easily change the country/region using my same domain login (member of domain admins and enterprise admins).
Does anyone have any thoughts on why I can change this attribute directly through AD but not Exchange?
EDIT: Also have this post on the TechNet forum trying to identify the cause of this issue: Technet Post
