XADM: Front-end server status is displayed in red (286273)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
- Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
- Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Standard Edition
This article was previously published under Q286273 SYMPTOMS When a Microsoft Exchange 2000-based computer or a
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003-based computer has been converted to a front-end
server, its status in the Exchange System Manager may be displayed in red,
which indicates that there is an issue with the server. However, the server is
operating as expected. CAUSE By default, the Default Microsoft Exchange Services list
contains the Microsoft Exchange MTA Stacks service. In a front-end server, the
Microsoft Exchange MTA Stacks service does not start because the store has been
dismounted, and it is recommended that you stop this service. Because this
service is part of the default list of Exchange Services being monitored, the
status is displayed in red. RESOLUTION To avoid this issue:
- Start the Exchange System Manager, click Tools, click Monitoring and Status, and then click Status.
- Right-click the front-end server that is displayed in red,
and then click Properties.
- Click Default Microsoft Exchange Services,
and then click the Detail button.
- Click Microsoft Exchange MTA Stacks, and
then click Remove.
- Click OK, and then OK.
