XADM: Exchange System Manager Status Node Does Not Display Status Description (263058)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server

This article was previously published under Q263058

SYMPTOMS

When you are using Exchange System Manager installed by Exchange 2000 Server and you click the status node, Microsoft Management Console (MMC) displays a status description at the top of the right pane, showing which server you are connected to. However, if you add the Exchange System Manager snap-in to a new MMC console, the status description is not displayed.

CAUSE

The default view of a new MMC does not have the description bar turned on.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, follow these steps:
  1. In Exchange System Manager, right-click the status node under Monitoring and Status.
  2. Click View, and then click Customize.
  3. Under Change the options to show/hide these items, click to select the Description bar check box. The status description should now be visible.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
