XCCC: Changing the Exchange Conferencing Service Host Server in a Multisite Deployment (233216)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Conferencing Server

This article was previously published under Q233216

SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Exchange Conferencing Service on the new host server reports an error, and then shuts down.

CAUSE

This behavior may occur if the Exchange Conferencing Service has been moved from one host server to another in a multisite deployment.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, you have to introduce the new server as the host server for the Conferencing Service. To do so, it is necessary to stop the Conferencing Service on the first host server.

STATUS

This behavior is by design and is not a malfunction.

MORE INFORMATION

When you are moving the Conferencing Service host server in a domain that has a replica domain controller, you must first stop the Conferencing Service on the active host server.
