In the Exchange Administrator utility, when I go to Organization/Configuration/Servers/EmailServer/Server Recipients, I receive an error message reading "The operation failed. Microsoft Exchange Address Book ID no: 80004005-0000-00000000" Checking on the M$ Knowledge Base, they say it relates to moving a mailbox, but we haven't done any moving for a long time (this behavior was just noticed 2 days ago). I can see the list of Recipients by just going to Organization/Recipients, but I think that something must be wrong with our Exchange. We also had a user who couldn't access her email even though network connections were present and she had the correct information for her profile ('name could not be resolved' error) and another user who is included in the office distribution list but receives no messages when someone sends a message to the list. Is this sounding like corruption, and if so, what can be done to recover from it? Thanks

In our case, it was corruption, and it is still occurring, even after running the M$ supplied online defragmentation and repair tools. Our last option will be move Exchange to a new server; luckily, we have only a handful of users on that server and rather than migrate, we will just have them all save their email to .pst's and then reinstall Exchange on the server....
