SYMPTOMS
When you view your Active Directory forest by using the Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, an incorrect number of trees appears.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if your Active Directory forest contains more than one tree. The Live Communications Server 2005 MMC snap-in does not recognize the presence of more than one tree in an Active Directory forest. Therefore, you may not be able to successfully deploy Live Communications Server 2005 in this Active Directory topology.
