SYMPTOMS
========

When you attempt to open and view properties on the Mailbox Cleanup Agent
version 1.9.1 from an Exchange Server computer that does not have the Mailbox
Cleanup Agent Service installed, you may get the following error message:

  Unable to initialize Extension Data Attributes!

After you click OK, you see the Mailbox Cleanup Agent Properties page, but when
you attempt to click on any of the tabs, you get the following error message:

  An exception has occurred in an extension .DLL file. Contact your extension
  supplier Microsoft Exchange Administrator ID No: c10312fb

Also, if you click on the Exclude Mailbox button and try to cancel the screen,
you might receive a Dr. Watson error message similar to the following:

  An application error has occurred and an application error log is being
  generated. Admin.exe Exception: Access Violation (0xc0000005), Address:
  0x10005cbd

CAUSE
=====

The reason for this behavior is that the Mailbox Cleanup Agent can only be
administered from the computer on which the service was installed.

WORKAROUND
==========

Administer the Mailbox Cleanup Agent from the server where the Mailbox Cleanup
Agent Service is running.
