Dear all, Since the past two days we are unable to connect to the exchange the event log shows this warning 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 This is happenning every 2-3 weeks and then it resolves on its own. we are running server 2003 and exchange 2003 on the same box I cannot connect thru oulook 2003 but if i try the OWA then it works Please can someone help me fix this thanks shabbar --------------------------------- Yahoo!
