The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q247767 SYMPTOMS
In a Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5-based environment, when you attempt to move a mailbox from one server to another server in the same site, the move may not be successful and you may receive the following error message:
Exchange Administrator: IS unavailable or not running
id # c1040af1
Also, Event Viewer may record Event 1008.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur when the Directory contains inconsistencies or when it has not been replicated to the other server.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, follow these steps at both servers:
- In Exchange Administrator, open the Directory Service
Properties dialog box.
- On the General tab, click Check Now to check
knowledge consistency.
- On the General tab, click Update Now to update the
Directory for the site where the server resides.NOTE: By default, consistency checking, updating, and Message Transfer Agent routing recalculation automatically occur within 24 hours. However, immediate consistency checking and updating reduces the likelihood of Directory inconsistencies' multiplying.
