Error when trying to configure Lync to be a partner application for Exchange Server 2013

Question

When I attempt to run the Configure-EnterprisePartnerApplication.ps1 script I get the following error:
The address 'LyncEnterprise-ApplicationAccount@*.domain.com' is invalid:
"LyncEnterprise-ApplicationAccount@*.domain.com" isn't a valid SMTP address. The domain name can't contain spaces and it has to have a prefix and a suffix, such as example.com.
The error continues with some more things, but what I can't understand is why it is adding a *. after the @ when it is trying to create the account.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi ADrake04,
I found that the script was configured as below:
$acceptedDomains = Get-AcceptedDomain;
if ($acceptedDomains -eq $null)
WriteError ("There is no accepted domain so user can not be created.")
$acceptedDomain = $acceptedDomains[0].Name;
if($UseDomainController -eq $true)
$user = New-MailUser -Name $username -DomainController $DomainController -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true -DomainController $DomainController
else
$user = New-MailUser -Name $username -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true;
WriteInformation ("Created User <$($user.Identity)> for Partner Application.");
return $user;
Please note the variable “$acceptedDomain”,
this is a very important point.
(Note: The acceptdomain is used in Exchange, and can be created in Exchange EAC )
Now what you need to do is to run the following command in Exchange Powershell and see the result.
$acceptedDomains
= Get-AcceptedDomain
$acceptedDomains[0].Name
If you see the result “*.Domain.com”, then you should check your Exchange Configuration.
Best regards,
