XADM: Err Msg: You Must Specify a Server in the Organization

Last reviewed: February 23, 1998
Article ID: Q157293

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server versions 4.0 and 5.0

SYMPTOMS

The Exchange administrator is trying to install a new site connector by selecting New on the File menu, and Site Connector under Other. The servers are in the same organization but in two different sites. When the administrator performs this operation, the following error message appears:

   You must specify a server that is in the organization but not in the
   site.

CAUSE

The organization name is not exactly the same on the two Exchange Server computers. The organization name may be misspelled on one server or have additional punctuation (underscore, comma, and so forth) that makes it different from the other server's organization name.

RESOLUTION

One of the Exchange Servers must be reinstalled or the Exchange Administrator program is connected to the same server on which you are attempting to create a connector. Connect via the Administrator program to the correct server where the connector is to be created.
