Deleted routing groups are listed in the WinRoute tool; fix requires Exchange 2000 SP3 (330279)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server SP3
This article was previously published under Q330279

SYMPTOMS

If you use the WinRoute tool to view the link state table, some routing groups and objects may be listed under the following heading:

[Routing groups not found in DS]

CAUSE

This problem may occur if you do not have the correct permissions on the directory service. For example, this problem may occur if you use an account that is not an administrator account and that does not have at least read only permissions on the Exchange branch of Active Directory.

This problem also occurs because of replication latency and timing problems that are related to moving servers from one routing group to another, and then deleting the source routing group.
