SYMPTOMS

When creating an Active file using the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program and clicking Create Active File (steps to find this option are included below), the following error message may be displayed after you specify the file name and click OK:

The version of the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service is

1. In the Administrator window, choose a server, and then choose Protocols.



2. Double-click NNTP (News) Settings for the server.



3. Click the Newsfeeds tab and then select Create Active File.

CAUSE

This error can be reported if the information store is not running or has shut down due to lack of disk space.
