Resolution:

Active Directory-Direct connector reads Exchange Server attributes by connecting to the Active Directory.

But, for provisioning any Exchange attributes, connector needs access to remote Powershell via IQService.

Windows Remote Management (WinRM) is a feature of Windows that allows

administrators to remotely run management scripts. WinRM Service should be running and that

should also be set up for Remote Management using the Enable-PSRemoting -force.

 

Enable PowerShell remoting in the domain using below cmdlet in Exchange Management Shell.

>Enable-PSRemoting -Force
