Hi, we are running SBS server 2008, in which we are facing issue with exchange 2007,from few days while creating any new mailbox we are recieving following error "The Exchange server address list service failed to respond. This could be because of an address list or email address policy configuration error". we followed below article to solve this issue but no use, we restarted the system attendant service and restarted the server. http://forums.msexchange.org/m_1800463003/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm#1800463003 please any help to resolve this issue, Regards Asha

Hi After researching, the Generally solution is restart system attendant, but you said it could not solve the problem. Another reason that migh cause this error is the DC is having more than 15 characters. Also, this issue willl also happen if The email address policy was not upgraded after migrating from e2K3 server. I fould a solution that might be helpful, after Restarted the exchange system attendant services, please run the command to upgrade policy Set-EmailAddressPolicy "Default Policy" -IncludedRecipients AllRecipients And then, Ran commands the following commands to upgrade the address lists Set-GlobalAddressList "Default Global Address List" -RecipientFilter {(Alias -ne $null -and (ObjectClass -eq 'user' -or ObjectClass -eq 'contact' -or ObjectClass -eq 'msExchSystemMailbox' -or ObjectClass -eq 'msExchDynamicDistributionList' -or ObjectClass -eq 'group' -or ObjectClass -eq 'publicFolder'))} # All Users Set-AddressList "All Users" IncludedRecipients MailboxUsers # All Contacts Set-AddressList "All Contacts" IncludedRecipients MailContacts # All Groups Set-AddressList "All Groups" IncludedRecipients MailGroups # All Public Folders Set-AddressList "Public Folders" RecipientFilter { RecipientType -eq 'PublicFolder' } Hope it helps CheersZi Feng TechNet Community Support

Hi Did you check the DC name, is it more than 15 characters. Also, due to it is on SBS 2008, you could also post your question on SBS Forum and find some help there http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/smallbusinessserver/threads CheersZi Feng TechNet Community Support
