The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool queries the Active Directory® directory service to determine the value for the msExchRoutingMasterDN attribute of each routing group in the current administrative group. The Exchange Server Analyzer then tries to open a socket connection to the routing master on TCP port 25. If the Exchange Server Analyzer does not receive an expected custom response of 25 Available, an error is displayed.
This error indicates that the routing master is not accessible on TCP port 25, and that routing failures may occur as a result. To correct this error, you can troubleshoot the connectivity problem with the routing master, or assign a new routing master.
To troubleshoot the connectivity problem with the routing master-
Can you telnet to port 25 from the routing master itself? If not, the problem is not with the network.
