Cause

The Add-ADPermissions Powershell command is also checking for the correct permissions of the Microsoft Exchange Server group in addition to the permissions of the account running the command.

 

Resolution

The minimum required permissions of the Microsoft Exchange Server group is assigned by default to the domain, but inheritance has been disabled on those permissions. Enable inheritance for the Microsoft Exchange Server group, and make sure those permissions propagate down to all child objects.
