I am getting this warning in the event viewer:


_______________________
MSExchange ADAccess/Topology

Process mmc.exe (PID=3636). The domain controller <myE2K3Server> is running
Windows <null> <null>. Exchange Active Directory Provider requires that
domain controllers are running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or later
versions of Windows.
_______________________

Trick is, this server is NOT a DC! It is just an Exchange server. I get this
for all my Exchange 2003 servers regardless whether this is a FE, BE, BH.

Any ideas?

Was it ever a DC? What does Active Directory Sites and Services have to say
about that?

Sounds like you might have a bug. If you're concerned, you could open a
ticket with Microsoft PSS. If you don't have any other issues, you might
just ignore it.
