Hi have experienced this too. What I find is the following...

-----------
Newly Created user accounts in Active directory can be view with LUMA.

Once I have created a Mailbox in Exchange for the new user (via Exchange 
Tasks) the errors described below occour when viewing the account entry
in LUMA.

LUMA shows "Distribution Groups" I created properly with the correct
email addresses from the directory.
-----------

I have not explored it further.
