In addition, any scripts that are used must be accessible and runnning, and any include files must be configured correctly.

Resolve

Check a connection failure

To resolve this connection issue, check the event log message for a specific error number included in the message. This error number will be different from the Event ID. To do this, see the following steps.

To perform these procedures, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

Check for a specific error number

To check for a specific error number:

  1. In the Event Viewer, select the event that you received.
  2. Click the Details tab, then Friendly View.
  3. If a specific error number is available, the words Binary data: should appear.
  4. Below In Words, note the number after the colon.

Find out more about a specific error number

To learn more about a specific error number:

  1. Download the Err.exe utility from the Microsoft Exchange Server Error Code Look-up page.
  2. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, and then Command Prompt.
  3. At the command prompt, navigate to the directory where you downloaded err.exe. For example, if you downloaded err.exe to C:\Err, type cd C:\Err.
  4. Type err errornumber to obtain more information about the error. For example, if the specific error number is 80070005, type err 80070005.
  5. In the example in Step 4, the error resolves to ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED, so your next step would be to check for a permissions issue.
