Has anyone experienced this error? One of our users
experienced this out of the blue. Did not find any
issues with the exchange server or with the Domain
controllers

A disk error on the Microsoft Exchange Server computer
has occurred.

User configuration is Outlook 2003 on a XP workstation

Thanks

So, did you examine the event log on the Exchange server computer?

I am having the same issue with an Exchange 2000 server on Windows
Server 2003. The user has Outlook 2003 and an XP workstation. At this
point, it is just one user and it just started recently. Nothing
sticks out in either the server or pc event logs.

Hi,

I have been having the same problem and found a resolution, which
thought I would share.

This is a very generic error message and doesn't mean what it says a
all. The problem in my case was that one of the GCSs in a branch offic
had lost sync with the domain and had stopped servicing DNS and NTFRS.
synchronised the time manually on that GCS (net time /set /yes) an
rebooted it, and it came back up fine.

More generally you need to check that you can look up the FQDN of th
server via nslookup, and check that there is no firewall or packe
filter between you and the Exchange Server. Check the DNS logs an
NTFRS logs to see if everything is functioning correctly.

Hope this helps.
