SYMPTOMS
When you try to obtain details of a queued message in the Microsoft Exchange Message Transfer Agent (MTA) property page, using the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program, the Microsoft Exchange Directory service (DS) may crash with a Dr. Watson error. If Microsoft Exchange and Windows NT symbols are installed, the Dr. Watson dump will show the crash in Details.c.



CAUSE
The call made to the DS to obtain the details of the message expects a certain number of attributes to be returned. In some cases, these return values can be pulled from bad memory. This causes the DS to crash.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 U.S. Service Pack 2. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
