CAUSE

This issue can occur if the information store is not running. When the information store is stopped and the System Attendant is still running, the System Attendant keeps the MAPI session active. This issue can also occur if a mailbox store failed to mount.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, verify that the information store is running. If the store is not running, attempt to start it. If the information store is running, and the event is still logged, verify that the mailbox stores are mounted. If they are not mounted, attempt to mount them.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server and Microsoft Exchange Server 2003.
