SYMPTOMS
When you try to install Exchange Server version 5.0 into an existing Exchange 5.5 site that is running Internet News Service (INS), you may receive a Dr. Watson error exception c0000005 in Srvrmax.exe.



CAUSE
When the Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) object is being created under the new server, the Site NNTP object is copied first. As a result, version 5.5 attributes are being passed to the new 5.0 server that Setup does not understand.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0. A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information.
