SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to remove the Private Information Store from an Exchange Server version 5.0 or 5.5 computer that is acting as the site's replication bridgehead server, the following error message may be appear:
CAUSE
In Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 and 5.5, the information store is used to deliver and receive inter-site replication messages. The Directory service uses MAPI calls to communicate with the store for this purpose. In Exchange Server 4.0, the above error message does not appear because the Directory service communicates directly with the message transfer agent (MTA) for inter-site replication communications.
