User Group Can any one please shed any light on this problem or point me in the right direction. We have upgraded Exchange 2000 SP1 to SP2 and now we are getting errors in the Application event. These are: Event 1040 "Metabase Update failed replication 5 times with error 80070490 (Element not found.). Please change the diagnostic logging level of MSExchangeMU to 'minimum' or greater to find the source of the problem." Event 1033 "The default recipient policy cannot be found. SMTP virtual servers and HTTP-DAV virtual servers and virtual directories will not work properly." Immediately after applying the SP2 we updated Sybari Antigen from version 6.1 to 6.2. The system now has given us the problem that the Exchange services will not start automatically and only if you start the system attendant manually are you able start the other Exchange services. I have looked on TechNet and eventid and can not find any thing for the above event id's. The above event id's look as if it could have been SP2 that caused the MSEXCHANEMU errors as we did not wait 15 mins before the service kicked in. I do feel that the sybari antigen has stopped the exchange services from starting automatically. Any constructive help would be very much appreciated.
