Changes that make the set Mailbox Management administrator account invalid are validated without generating any error message (318554)

SYMPTOMS

If you configure a Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server computer to run the Mailbox Management process, you can send a Mailbox Management summary or detailed report to an administrator account. The administrator account can be any user account that you designate for this purpose.

After you start the Mailbox Management process, if you delete the Mailbox Management administrator account from Active Directory, and then make changes to the server properties in Exchange System Manager, you may be able to validate the changes without receiving an error message that indicates that the Mailbox Management administrator account no longer exists.

You might expect that validation of the server pages would generate an error message because a report is being sent but there is no account (to send the report to) set on the Mailbox Manager tab.
