Dear all, Since the past two days we are unable to connect to the exchange the event log shows this error message The Microsoft Exchange Site Replication Service could not initialize its Exchange database (EDB) and returned error 1. The Site Replication Service will wait in a semi-running state so the database can be restored from backup and the SRS can mount it. users get a message trying to connect but it never does thanks shabbar --------------------------------- Yahoo!
