A colleague had a problem when attempting a restore a mailbox, this error was generated:

Error: MapiExceptionInvalidParameter: Unable to modify table. (hr=0x80070057, ec=-2147024809)
                                Diagnostic context:

To resolve this you need to restore as follows by adding in the "-AssociatedMessagesCopyOption copy" argument, for example the below:

New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceDatabase MBX1 -SourceStoreMailbox "Fred Blogs" -TargetMailbox RST1 -AllowLegacyDNMismatch -ExcludeDumpster -BadItemLimit 100 -AcceptLargeDataLoss -AssociatedMessagesCopyOption copy -IncludeFolders "#Inbox#”

This additional argument specifies that the hidden associated messages such as those used for rules, views and forms should also be copied. Doing this should resolve this "ROP Error."
