Why does my migrated Distribution List have an unknown member?

fact
Exchange Migrator 1.x

Exchange Migrator 2.x

cause
You may see an entry in a migrated Distribution List that is neither a Custom Recipient or a Mailbox.  The unknown entry is represented by the system attendant ICON of two cogs.  This is usually indicative of an account that doesn't exist.

fix
Manually remove the unknown entry, and add the correct entry back in from the Global Address List.
