That's the curious part - the message says that the "local" computer (I have to assume that to be the Exchange server itself because that's the machine generating the event) is not part of the group but it is part of the group. I guess the 2nd message that says it cant add the computer account to the group makes perfect sense since it is already there. I removed it and re added it but it didn't help. This time Im going to follow what the message says (sort of). Im gonna remove it from the group, stop the Exchange services, re add it to the group and then restrt the services. Ill let you know what happens...

Has anyone seen this? First I will see a warning - Source is MSExchangeSA, category is General and Event ID is 9186 - it states: "Microsoft Exchange System Attendant has detected that the local computer is not a member of group 'cn=Exchange Domain Servers,cn=Users,dc=rmc,dc=edu'. System Attendant is going to add the local computer into the group. The current members of the group are 'CN=RMCMX1,OU=Servers,OU=Rmccomputers,DC=rmc,DC=edu; CN=NAV for Microsoft Exchange-TITAN,CN=Users,DC=rmc,DC=edu; '." The local computer is RMCMX1 and the message says that machine IS a member of the group. What the? Next I get the following error message - Source is MSExchangeSA, category is General and Event ID is 9187: " Microsoft Exchange System Attendant failed to add the local computer as a member of the DS group object 'cn=Exchange Domain Servers,cn=Users,dc=rmc,dc=edu'. Please stop all the Microsoft Exchange services, add the local computer into the group manually and restart all the services." When I search the knowledge base I get 1 document that simply states that the Exchange server wont function properly if its not in the Exchange Domain Servers group. The computer account is in that group and I haven't noticed any e-mail problems but I really don't like these messages. I have received these every 15 minutes since October 7. I believe that is the day that I created the OU that the server account is now in. Until then it was in the default computers container but I want to implement uniform auditing and event viewer property policies (through GPOs) on all of my servers so I created the OU referenced in the logs. Has anyone seen this? Is it anything to worry about? Can it be "fixed"? Thanks all!
