Hmmmm.
Check out the Recipient Update Service and make certain that none of those entries point to the retired DC. Is the source of event entry MSExchangeAl? Next, on a computer where the Windows Support Tools have been installed "netdom query fsmo" and ensure that none of the FSMO roles point to the retired server. Regards, Michael B.

Actually this DC was shut down late last year. A few technicians had been ignoring this event item, so I am trying to clear it up. The DC is no longer available. All listings in the directory services are correct. Yes the system attendant has been restarted since this occurred. On Thu, Feb 14, 2008 at 10:51 AM, Michael B.

One of the usability tests is "do I get a ping response within 2 seconds". Are there other DCs in the site where Exchange is? Has System Attendant been restated since that DC went offline?

They are set to automatic. If they were not, my excuse would be because I don't have cool letters after my name like "Exchange MVP". I will look into the meta cleanup Andy mentioned.

We have an Exchange server that is referencing a retired DC and creating event log errors. Any ideas off the top of your head where I can make an adjustment to remove this reference? It is related to LDAP Bind. TIA Event Category: LDAP Operations Event ID: 8026 LDAP Bind was unsuccessful on directory DCS-05.xxx.com for distinguished name ''.
