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.
Imagine what this world is come to. Microsoft brings out a product and Charge us to be used as Guinnie Pigs in stead of VICE-VERSA
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.
