SYMPTOMS
When you install Exchange 2000 into an existing Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 environment that is in a topology with multiple domains, and Active Directory sites, the following error is logged in the application event log:

Event Type: Error

Event Source: MSExchangeSA

Event Category: General

Event ID: 9152

Date: 10/2/2000

Time: 11:17:32 AM

User: N/A

Computer: TBill1

Description:

Microsoft Exchange System Attendant reported an error '0x80044501' in its DS Monitoring thread.

If you restart the Exchange 2000 server, the Site Replication Service (SRS) does not start, and the following error is logged in the application event log:

Event Type: Warning

Event Source: MSExchangeSRS

Event Category: Service Control

Event ID: 1403

Date: 10/2/2000

Time: 2:07:54 PM

User: N/A

Computer: TBill1

Description:

Site replication service was unable to obtain legacy account details and cannot continue.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you install another Exchange 2000 server in a different Active Directory site before replication occurs. After the installation of the second Exchange 2000 server, the directory replication cycle overwrites the msExchEncryptedPassword attribute. When the SRS runs again, it attempts to read the attribute, but is unable to locate it.



WORKAROUND

 * 1) Start Exchange System Manager.
 * 2) Locate Administrative Group - Site/Routing Group.
 * 3) Open the properties of the Site/Routing Group.
 * 4) If this is a mixed-mode site, which includes both Exchange Server 5.5 and Exchange 2000, the General tab will display the Exchange Service account.
 * 5) Re-enter the Exchange Service account password.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.
