Organizational unit blank in Exchange admin center

Sometimes we face error " Organizational unit blank" while creating new mail account in ecp

.The reason why organizational unit is blank is that ECP web application has a limit of not displaying more than 500 organizational units.

Error:

  

 

Please follow the below steps to solve the issue:

Step 1: PLease check the no of  organizational unit whether it has exceeded the default value 500.

                      Command:  (Get-OrganizationalUnit -ResultSize unlimited).count
Step 2: If  more than 500 than please delete some OU which is not necessary or redundant.Otherwise,please modify each servers web.config file (Path: \\<server>\c$\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V\ClientAccess\ecp\web.config) by adding the following code.
 
<!-- allows the OU picker when placing a new mailbox in its designated organizational unit to retrieve all OUs - default value is 500 -->
<add key="GetListDefaultResultSize" value="2000" />
 
just before AppSettings end </appSetting>
 
 
 
After that it's just matter of opening IIS, finding MSExchangeECPAppPool and recyling it. 
 
 
Do this for every server that holds Mailbox Role.
 
Hopefully It will solve your problem.
