XADM: Can't Modify Exchange Server 5.0 Computer with New Admin.exe File After 5.5 Upgrade

• Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.0, 5.5

SYMPTOMS

After you upgrade a server to Exchange Server version 5.5 in a site that was previously running only Exchange Server version 5.0, the remaining Exchange Server version 5.0 computers in the site cannot generate addresses when you add mailboxes, and cannot create new mailboxes.

CAUSE

If you start the Admin.exe file from the new Exchange Server version 5.5 computer, you do not force an update of the Pcproxy.dll, Inproxy.dll, X400prox.dll, and Ccmproxy.dll files on the remaining Exchange Server version 5.0 computers.

WORKAROUND

Start the Admin.exe file from one of the remaining Exchange Server version 5.0 computers, and then connect to the server experiencing the problems. This forces an update of the .dll files.
