256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SUMMARY
This article describes how to use Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) to determine the organization and site name.



MORE INFORMATION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

In some cases, if MSExchangeDS fails to start in a single-organization, single-site, and single-server environment, you may need to rebuild the Exchange Server computer, and then restore Dir.edb. To restore Dir.edb, you must use the same organization, site, and server names. To determine these names:  Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). Locate and click the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeMTA\Parameters

 Double click X500 DN : REG_SZ:, and then make a note of the string value. The value looks similar to the following text:

/o= /ou= /cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn= /cn=Microsoft MTA

 Quit Registry Editor.

Additional query words: find org site name xgen
