SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You use the Exchange System Manager to administer a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 installation that is running on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based computer. You take this action after you configure a security policy for the Exchange server in the Security Configuration Wizard that is installed on the same computer. In this scenario, you experience the following symptoms:
- When you click the HTTP folder under the Protocols folder for the Exchange server, you receive the following error message:
Additionally, after you click OK to dismiss the error message, the status of the HTTP Exchange Virtual Server is displayed as "unknown."
Note The Protocols folder is under the Exchange server object for the particular Exchange installation in the Exchange System Manager.
- When you click the IMAP4 folder under the Protocols folder for the Exchange server, the status of the default IMAP4 Virtual Server is displayed as "unknown."
- When you click the POP3 folder under the Protocols folder for the Exchange server, the status of the default POP3 Virtual Server is displayed as "unknown."
- When you click the SMTP folder under the Protocols folder for the Exchange server, the status of the default SMTP Virtual Server is displayed as "unknown."
- When you click the NNTP folder under the Protocols folder for the Exchange server, the default NNTP Virtual Server does not appear in the NNTP folder.
