Begin Paste –
1. Log on to the schema operations master role with an account that’s a member of both the Schema and Enterprise Administrators groups. Make sure you’ve enabled schema updates.

3. Open Notepad, and paste the following text:

dn: CN=ms-Exch-LabeledURI,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=X
changetype: Modify
replace: lDAPDisplayName
lDAPDisplayName: msExchLabeledURI

changetype: Modify
replace: lDAPDisplayName
lDAPDisplayName: msExchHouseIdentifier

3. Type the following command, including the quotation marks:
c:\iop>ldifde -i -f inetorgpersonprevent.ldf -v -c DC=

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
