XADM: Cannot View Hidden Membership Distribution Lists After You Update the Recipient Update Service (811909)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Enterprise Server
  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server

SYMPTOMS

If you are a member of the Domains Admins group, but you are not a member of Account Operators and Exchange Domain Servers groups, you cannot read the membership of groups that have hidden membership after you update the Recipient Update Service.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Recipient Update Service removes the read property permission for the Domain Admins group.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, you must be added to the Account Operators group. To do so, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start , point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.
  2. Expand Domain, and then click Built-in.
  3. In the right pane, right-click the Account Operators group, and then click Properties.
  4. Click the Members tab, and then click Add.
  5. Click the user who you want to add to the Account Operators group, and then click Add.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Log off from the server, and log on to the server.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
