The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool queries the Active Directory® directory service to determine the value for the msExchMaxStorageGroups attribute of each InformationStore container. If the Exchange Server Analyzer determines that the value for any msExchMaxStorageGroups attribute does not equal 4, an error is displayed.
The only value supported for the msExchMaxStorageGroups attribute is 4, and this value should never be changed. Exchange does not function correctly if this value is modified.
You must correct the value using an Active Directory editor, such as the Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) Edit snap-in, the LDP (ldp.exe) tool, or any other Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) version 3 client.
 Caution: |
|---|
| If you incorrectly modify the attributes of Active Directory objects when you use ADSI Edit, the LDP tool, or another LDAP version 3 client, you may cause serious problems. These problems may require that you reinstall Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003, Exchange Server 2003, or both. Modify Active Directory object attributes at your own risk. |
To correct this
error
-
Using ADSI Edit or a similar tool, locate the InformationStore object for this server in Active Directory.
The msExchMaxStorageGroups attribute can be found at:
CN=Configuration,DC=Domain,CN=com, CN=Services, CN=Microsoft Exchange, CN= OrganizationName , CN=Administrative Groups, CN= AdminGroupName , CN=Servers, CN= ServerName , CN=InformationStore
-
Edit the msExchMaxStorageGroups attribute by entering 4 as the new value.
-
Close the Active Directory editor, and then restart the Exchange Server computer for the change to take effect.
