More information

You can safely ignore the three events that appear together, as described in the "Symptoms" section of this article.

The events are logged when a call to DsGetDcName is made before the Microsoft Exchange Management Service is fully initialized. DsGetDcName is a Windows Application Programming Interface (API) function that returns the name of the domain controller.

Microsoft Exchange Management Service is automatically installed when you install Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server Service Pack 2 (SP2).

For additional information about the DsGetDcName function, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
