SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program to view the
properties of a server in a remote site and the remote server has a server
location specified (subsite), Admin.exe stops responding. If Windows NT and
Exchange Server debug symbols are installed correctly, the resulting Dr. Watson
log may have a stack dump similar to the following:

CAUSE
=====

The Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program fails to initialize a memory
pointer. When this uninitialized pointer is being referenced, the Admin.exe
process causes an access violation and terminates.


RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server
version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:

The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or
later:

  File Name   Version
  ----------------------
  Admin.exe   5.5.2402.0

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.5. This problem was first corrected in Exchange Server 5.5 Service
Pack 2.
