Is this a bad thing?

Hey all, I'm getting the following message about every 20 minutes in my Exchange 2007 App Log and I'm wondering if it's something I need to fix right away or something I can just delete. I checked on EventID.net and didn't get anything there, and their link to the article on the MS site yielded an "Article Not Found" error. Here's the error I'm getting:

The srv-DC2 server is my second domain controller (pretty clever naming scheme huh?) but the Exchange Server is running just fine.

Thanks,

Was this a migration from a legacy version of Exchange? If so, looks like you didn't deommission things correctly.

Sorry - that should read "decommission"

58sniper, I have very little experience with Exchange (I now have $$$ budgeted for some training in '09) so I had a tech from the local support company come in and do the upgrade from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007. I DO remember that there was a problem that involved contacting Microsoft's tech support, but I don't know what specifically was the problem. I asked the tech and was originally told that the problem was due to the fact that I had two domain controllers in my network. That sounded bogus but he was able to fix the problem whatever it was. Are there any corrective measures I can take at this time, or do I even need to worry about it at this time? Things are working fine; I just don't like errors in my Event Logs.

Thanks,

Joe B
