Explanation | |
This Error event indicates that the domain controller specified in the event description is not working or not reachable. The Active Directory® provider maintains a pool of connections to the available domain controllers. Any Exchange process that has to access Active Directory uses an available connection from the connection pool. This event may occur if the connection in the connection pool indicates that the domain controller is not working or not reachable. |
