The tool can look up one or more values at a time. All values on the command line will be looked up in Exchange's internal tables and presented to you. If available, informational data associated with the value or values will also be shown. ~Kevinm WLKMMAS powered by 3Sharp <http://www.3sharp.com/> , Always WLKMMAS <http://www.wlkmmas.org/> What is your Zombie Plan? From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 7:57 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Strange pair of events twice daily Inside track? HAH. J I just complain vociferously and often enough that I get responses - sometimes. Error messages are improving, but it's a slow process. They have come a LONG way from Exchange 5.x, when all you got was the MAPI error. All the new .Net-based code in Exchange 2007 has significantly improved error messages - in fact, sometimes you wish the product would just SHUT UP. But having too much is generally preferable to having too little, that's for certain. It sounds weird, but good error messages cause code bloat. The more localized text you have in a program, the bigger the program is, the more memory it takes, the longer reporting an error takes, the more code paths that have to be executed to check for errors, etc. etc. etc. It's a line that has to be tread carefully. As systems grow more capable, there are more/better errors. Regards, Michael B.

I mean, what's the point in being so darn cryptic? _____ From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 8:02 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Strange pair of events twice daily I love generic errors. Not. That error is MAPI_E_CALL_FAILED. However, because of the "logon failure" - I would tend to wonder - how many disabled users do you have and do any of them have mailboxes associated with them?

On all of the Exchange servers in one of the Admin groups, we get the following pair of events logged : Event Type: Error Event Source: MSExchangeIS Event Category: General Event ID: 9562 Date: 6/3/2008 Time: 12:04:08 AM User: N/A Computer: XYZABC Description: Failed to read attribute msExchUserAccountControl from Active Directory for /o=First Organization/ou=First Administrative Group/cn=Recipients/cn=XYZABC. Event Type: Error Event Source: MSExchangeIS Mailbox Store Event Category: Logons Event ID: 1022 Date: 6/3/2008 Time: 12:04:08 AM User: N/A Computer: XYZABC Description: Logon Failure on database "First Storage Group\Mailbox Store (XYZABC)" - Windows 2000 account stoop\Administrator; mailbox /o=First Organization/ou=First Administrative Group/cn=Recipients/cn=XYZABC. Error: -2147467259 They're logged at 4 minutes past minute, then 40 minutes past. They're logged again a 4 minutes past mid-day then 40 minutes past. Then again at midnight. I checked to see if the computer account XYZABC, had someone got a mail address, but it doesn't, and I don't see it listed in the list of mailboxes on the store under the server object in ESM. Saw a few pointers towards the RUS needing to be rebuilt - done that, and the same error's are still logged. Would I need to to the Enterprise RUS, and the domain RUS for the other domain as well?
