Hi all,

I'm trying to clean up old mailboxes and I changed the password to an old
administrators account so I could access the mailbox.

We're running windows 2000 and Exchange 2000.

After I did this, when I attempt to open up the ESM, I'm prompted with a
fatal error stating:

Local error has occured
Facility: win32
Id no: 8007203b
Exchange System Manager

All the services start up as local system account.

What do I do?
I cant seem to open the ESM any longer.

TIA
alan
