SUMMARY

The Microsoft Exchange Connectivity Administrator program (Lsadmin.exe) is provided with Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server and Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5. This tool is installed with Exchange 2000 Server in the Program Files\Exchsrvr\Bin folder. With Lsadmin.exe, you can locate logs and independently stop and start connector processes using the Microsoft Exchange Connectivity Controller (such as the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Novell GroupWise and Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes).

Microsoft provides commercially reasonable support for this tool. Recommended troubleshooting tools include the program logs, System Monitor, message archival, and others, but the Connectivity Administrator may still be useful.

MORE INFORMATION

To use this utility on an Exchange 2000 server:

  1. In the \\server\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Conndata folder, manually create a folder named "Logs."
  2. Run Lsadmin.exe from the Exchsrvr\Bin folder.
  3. When prompted to log on, use the following server as the server to which you want to connect (make sure to include the parentheses [()]):

    (local)

Lsadmin.exe works in the same way it did in Exchange Server 5.5. There are no registry changes required. When increasing logging with this utility, make sure that plenty of disk space is available. Depending on mail traffic, hard disk space can be a concern. Log files must be manually deleted.
