Error Message: Mobile Information Server Cannot Display the MMC Information (289556)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mobile Information 2001 Server

This article was previously published under Q289556

SYMPTOMS

When you start the Mobile Information Server System Manager Microsoft Management Console (MMC), and then attempt to expand the Mobile Information Server Installation container, you may receive the following error message:
Mobile Information Server cannot display the MMC information. Verify that ForestPrep has been run in this forest.

CAUSE

This error message can occur if you are logged on to a member server using the local Administrator account.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, verify that you are logged on as a domain user in the domain, and then restart the Mobile Information Server System Manager.

MORE INFORMATION

The text in the error message described in the "Summary" section may be misleading. If you are logged on to the local member server, you may receive this message immediately after you start the Mobile Information Server System Manager MMC. This behavior occurs if you save the settings when the Mobile Information Server Installation container is already expanded.

If the Mobile Information Server System Manager MMC has never been started, you do not receive this error message until you attempt to expand the Mobile Information Server Installation container.
