SYMPTOMS
========

When you start the Microsoft Mail Connector Interchange (MSMI), you may receive
the following event:

  Event ID: 2410
  Type: Error
  Source: MSExchangeMSMI
  Category: Session Error
  Description:

  MS Mail Connector Interchange has failed to establish a session
  with the Directory services. The return code is 0x105.

CAUSE
=====

The MSMI cannot establish a session with the Exchange directory service. The
MSMI still starts and appears to run, but it will not deliver any mail. This
occurs if the System Account is selected instead of the Exchange service
account.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, check the startup parameters for the MSMI. Make sure
"This Account" is selected in the Log On As box and the Exchange service account
is selected.

To verify this:

1. Open Control Panel.

2. Double-click the Services icon.

3. Double-click the Microsoft Mail Connector Interchange service.

4. Verify that the Exchange service account is listed as the startup account.
