Article: Q175100
Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): 5.0 SP2,5.5
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbusage
Last Modified: 20-DEC-2000

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.0 SP2, 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

After you complete an installation of Exchange Server version 5.5 over a
previous version of Exchange Server, or upgrade Exchange Server version 5.0
Service Pack 1 to Service Pack 2, the following events will be logged in Event
Viewer and will appear to be a problem with the installation:

  Event ID: 1005
  Source: MSExchangeSA
  Type: Error
  Category: Monitoring

  Unexpected error <<0xc0040000 - The Microsoft Exchange Server computer
  is not available. Either there are network problems or the Microsoft
  Exchange Server computer is down for maintenance. Microsoft Exchange
  Server Information Store ED no.: 8004011d-0526-00000000>> occurred.

CAUSE
=====

Though the event appears to be a problem with the server, it is actually an
expected behavior. The Exchange system attendant is attempting to contact the
information store, which is not available at the specified time. After the
Exchange Setup program has completed, it begins restarting all the related
services. When you check further in the Event Viewer log, you will see a display
of the successful startup of the information store, as follows:

  Event ID: 1001
  Source: MSExchange IS Private
  Type: Error
  Category: Monitoring

  The Microsoft Exchange Information Store has started. Service startup
  complete, version 5.5.
