You receive incomplete information when the "Exchange 2000 - (SP1-Local System) Collect Public Folder Statistics" script runs (821266)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Operations Manager 2000, when used with:
    • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server

SYMPTOMS

When the built-in "Exchange 2000 - (SP1-Local System) Collect Public Folder Statistics" script runs, the report only shows mailboxes from one virtual server, and the same mailboxes appear regardless of the virtual server. This symptom occurs if the following conditions are true:
  • You have upgraded Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2000 with Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server Management Pack to MOM 2000 Service Pack1 (SP1).
  • The MOM 2000 Exchange 2000 agent is installed on both nodes of an Active/Active Exchange 2000 cluster that has more than one Exchange 2000 virtual server.
Additionally, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:
Collection of public folder statistics failed using mailbox NetBIOS name of the second node of the cluster. Error: Failed to query public folder table for list of public folders and their properties [0x80040605(-2147219963)]

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) that is used to query the public folder table for a list of public folders is not cluster aware.
