Exchange System Manager
CAUSE
This issue can occur for any of the following reasons:
Exchange System Manager uses Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to connect to a public folder store, and connects to the Exadmin virtual directory, under the default Web site. This virtual directory is created by the Setup program during installation. If this virtual directory is missing or renamed, Exchange System Manager is not able to connect to the public folders on this server, and you may receive the error message described in the preceding section.
On a clustered Exchange 2000 computer, you can stop the HTTP virtual service by using Cluster Administrator. If the HTTP server is stopped, you may receive the error message described in the preceding section when you try to connect to public folders in Exchange System Manager.
If the Web site that the Exadmin virtual directory is a member of does not have a blank host header name, you may receive the error message described in the preceding section. To verify that the Web site has a blank host name:
Start Internet Services Manager, and then open the properties of the default Web site.
Click Advanced .
Ensure that a valid Internet protocol (IP) address has been entered, and that the host header name is blank.
