Hello, Server 2007, Exchange 2007 Sp1. This one seems to be wearing me out. My first exchange server is doing the exact same thing. I was planning on migrating over to this server, however it has the same problem. This one is a fresh build. It is fully functional, and only has one test mailbox on it. I was hoping that maybe upgrading to Sp2 would fix this issue. I have looked all over the internet and cant seem to find a resolve. Any suggestions are very seriously appreciated. Please let me know if you need any more info. Thanks!

Also, I have a secondary question. If I go through the process of upgrading this one to SP2. Will it effect my other exchange sever? Can they co-exist. A server with SP2 and another with SP1? Does it do anything to active directory when preparing the schema that will effect the sp1 server? Thanks!
