Management Console

[josh2009]

using exchange 2007 sp1 rollup 9.
the database management screen is blank, ie mailbox databases are not displayed.
also, when add a sbs 2008 user - get message Unable to find default mailbox database.
send connectors, receive connectors,accepted and remote domains also blank.
mail is working as users can send and recwive.
Will exchange 2007 sp2 fix this?

What you can try first is to create a new admin user with the same rights of the default administrator user. Login with that account, check if everything is fine. Delete the profile of the default administrator (which one gave problems). And relogin with your default administrator... it will create a new profile. And everything should be fine again.

thank you. Have created a new admin account and can now view all tabs in management console.
however, still have problem when create a new sbs account - warning, user does not have a mailbox and cannot send mail with exchange.

If this is SBS2008, there should be a wizard for creating new users. You generally don't use the Exchange and AD native tools. Been a while since I've looked at SBS though.

Can you try it with the old admin account with a clean profile. Also i have little SBS knowledge to help you with this problem.

thank you but I can now add a user and mailbox is created successfully so will keep the new admin account.
I think the issues were related to symantec mail security for exchange so have uninstalled this.
