XADM: Multiple Virtual Servers on a Front End Server Do Not Inherit Server Property

 * }

Q241775

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server

-

SYMPTOMS
If you configure virtual servers on a front end server in addition to the default virtual server, the server role value is not set on new virtual servers (IMAP/POP).

Even if the server's default value is set to 1, this property is not inherited by the additional virtual servers.

CAUSE
The "Create Virtual Server" instance does not set the msExchServerRole attribute with the same value as in the Exchange Server object.

RESOLUTION
For the server role value to appear for the new virtual servers you created:


 * 1) Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Microsoft Exchange.
 * 2) From the Microsoft Exchange menu, click System Manager.
 * 3) Click the plus sign (+) next to Servers.
 * 4) Right-click the name of the server, and then click Properties.
 * 5) Click the General tab, click to clear and then click to reselect the This is a front end server check box.

The next step is to stop and restart the IMAP or POP services.
 * 1) Click the plus sign (+) next to Protocols.
 * 2) Right-click IMAP service or POP service.
 * 3) Stop and then restart the IMAP service or POP service.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.
