XADM: Many Administrative Logons Are Listed in the Logons Container in Exchange System Manager (815298)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server

SYMPTOMS

On a Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server computer that serves many Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) clients, you may experience memory fragmentation issues. Additionally, when you view the Logons container in Exchange System Manager, many administrative logons are listed. These administrative logons appear in the following format:
User Name Windows 2000 AccountLogon TimeLast Access TimeClient Version
SystemMailbox{GUID}NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEMdate and timedate and timeOLEDB
SystemMailbox{GUID}NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEMdate and timedate and timeOLEDB
These administrative logons do not expire but remain listed in the Logons container.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the administrative logons that are created for notification messages and for schema discovery do not automatically time out (expire).
