troubleshooting the failure of Exchange System Attendant to create session for virtual manchine error 0x80040115.
I am using Exchange 2007 Sp3 (Version: 08.03.0083.000) under SBS 2008. I note two repeating errors in my application event log:
The Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service failed to create session for virtual machine SERVER. The error number is 0x80040115.
event 4001 from MSExchange System Attendant Mailbox: A transient failure has occurred. The problem may resolve itself in awhile. The service will retry in 56 seconds. Diagnostic information:
Cannot open mailbox /o=First Organization/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (xxx)/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=xxx/cn=Microsoft System Attendant.
followed by several other 'cannot open mailbox' errors.
I have confirmed that the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service is started automatically.
Please help me understand the meaning of these errors and how I can troubleshoot this problem.

No, I did not upgrade. This was a new installation of SBS 2008.

Thanks for responding. A few days later the problem has not recurred. Somehow it is fixed by itself it seems, so I will happily avoid a delving into this further.
