SYMPTOMS
The local queue on your Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 server may have many messages, and local delivery of messages may be very slow.

When you view the event log, you may see events that are similar to the following:

Event Type: Error

Event Source: MSExchangeSA

Event Category: General

Event ID: 5007

Date:

Time:

User: N/A

Computer:

Description: An error occurred during the message tracking decode operation. error from file: :\df6851\admin\src\libs\rpc\rwlog.cxx line: 517. <<0xc0070005 - Access is denied.>>



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the Mad.exe process stops responding (hangs) because of access issues on the message tracking log location.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start Windows Explorer.
 * 2) Locate the  .log file. The default location of the  .log file is C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\ .log.
 * 3) Right-click  .log, and then click Properties.
 * 4) Click the Security tab.
 * 5) In the Name list, click SYSTEM.
 * 6) In the Permissions list, click to select the Allow check box next to Full Control, and then click OK.

Note The Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service (MSExchangeSA) runs under the local system account. This local system account is named SYSTEM on the Security tab of the Exchsrvr Properties dialog box for the C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr folder. By default, SYSTEM is granted Full Control permissions for everything in the C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr folder, including the default message tracking log location. If the message tracking log folder is moved to a different location, you must make sure that the SYSTEM local system account is granted Full Control permissions over this new log location.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
