Hey Mike,

It looks like you have a new org and you are trying to restore a database
that was previously upgraded from 5.5. The "." is still in the database
even though you didn't probably see it before, and will not be present in a
new/fresh install of AD/E2K. Here's an article with a couple of choices:

280652 XADM: "Event ID 1088" Is Logged and Store Fails to Mount
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=280652

This is probably the best in my opinion:

273863 How to Change the LegacyExchangeDN Attribute in Native Mode with ADSI

Keep me posted,

Jim
