An Exchange 2007 server on which an address list service is active cannot be found

While modifying the mailbox quotes on a user mailbox on exchange 2007 I got the error “An Exchange 2007 server on which an address list service is active cannot be found”. Lots of chatter here but I did look at see that the ‘Microsoft Exchange System Attendant’ service wasn’t running, although it was set to automatic. Start -> Run -> services.msc and started it and replayed the actions and the changes worked afterwards. Not sure why it wasn’t running.

    Here is the deal..

    In my case my servers are running HP ITO agent ( to push every service up and running ).. now services don;t have options.. so i don;t think system attendant has any more option about stopping. when i try to move Mailbox — i am getting “An Exchange 2007 server on which an address list service is active cannot be found”.. i reboot the server , error goes away .. after a random time . some another box wakes up and start the same.
    I am looking at Global catalog to see if i get anything on it..

    If anyone know about this, please update..

    Thank you.

    Regards,
