The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool reads the following registry key to determine that the registry key exists:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters\Initialize MAPI interface

If the Exchange Server Analyzer finds the Initialize MAPI interface key is present and configured to have any numeric value, the Exchange Server Analyzer displays an error.

When the Initialize MAPI interface registry key is present Microsoft Office Outlook® clients will not be able to contact the address book on this server. To correct this problem you must remove the Initialize MAPI interface registry key.

To correct this warning

1. Open a registry editor, such as Regedit.exe or Regedt32.exe.

2. Navigate to: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters\Initialize MAPI interface

3. Right-click the Initialize MAPI interface key and select Delete.

4. Close the registry editor and restart the Exchange server.

Before you edit the registry, and for information about how to edit the registry, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 256986, "Description of the Microsoft Windows registry" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=3052&kbid=256986).
