When I try to access the properties of my server within any of the containers in Exchange 2010 Server Configuration, I get the following error:An error occured while accessing the registry on the server "my server". The error that occurred is "The network path was not found." It was running the command 'Get-AntispamUpdates -Identity 'my server".This server does not have Edge role installed, so I'm not sure where the AntispamUpdates is coming from. Machine has one active NIC (first in the binding order).Everything seems to be working fine, otherwise, just can't access the server properties... hoping somebody has come across this before.Thanks in advance!Eric

In Exchange 2010, anti-spam can be installed on both the Edge and Hub Transoport roles.

Hi,The error only occur when you try to check the properties on server from Exchange Management Console?please try to use get-exchangeserver "servername" |fl, get-antispamupdates "servername" |fl and then pasted here.Please check if you have antispamupdate enabled. If yes, then please verify if you can connect to internet to get antispam update. Besides, I'd like to know if you install all the roles on the same machine. If you check the properties from other role, then please check the issue on its own role. Configure Anti-Spam Automatic Updates http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997861.aspx Regards,Xiu

Hi Eric Have you disabled "File and Printer Sharing" on the network interface? I had a similar problem witch could be resolved with activating "File and Printer Sharing". Regards MarcoMCITP

The remote registry service is started on my server.. Still having same issue.. Here are the results from the PS commands, hopefully someone can help me out.. I'm sort of on a SHORT deadline...

make sure that the "remote registry" service is started, i had the same issue and it was solved by starting this service. Sam
