Re: Outlook Delegates Page Unavailable



At some stage of sbs migration you have removed "old exchange" object from
AD (I do it slightly different to Jeff so can't tell you at which point).
Anyway, all boils down to the fact that migrated users have homeMTA
attribute which is pointing to "deleted exchange".
You can expect more problems with migrated mailboxes until you correct
homeMTA attribute e.g OWA or OMA access.

Use ADSI Edit to lookup correct value of homeMTA on mailbox that was created
after migration. You can copy / paste it to each affected mailbox.

This was originally posted to exchange.admin newsgroup, but has had no

"This Exchange 2003 server lives on a SBS 2003 SP1 box which was Swing
Migrated from SBS 2000 about two months ago. I used the "forklift" method
to move the Exchange 2000 Information Store to the new server. The store
just mounted without issue on the SBS 2003 server and users just continued
on using Outlook 2002 & 2003 clients as though nothing had happened. There
have been no problems with Exchange or Outlook until yesterday.
Yesterday I discovered that all users get the following error when they
click on the Delegates tab under Tools/Options:
"The Delegates page is not available. Unable to access
Outlook folder. Network problems are preventing connection
to the Microsoft Exchange Server computer. Contact your
system administrator if this condition persists."

I have Googled and have come up with very little useful except that there
may be corruption in the IS or mailboxes and exporting users' mailboxes to
PST files, recreating mailboxes and dragging the PST data back into the
new mailbox may fix it. I sure hope there is a better way to fix this.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, please?"

I have since discovered that you can still gain access to delegates
information via folder, properties, permsissions. Only the migrated users
have this problem - users created post-migration do not.
