CAUSE

Exchange 2000 currently supports Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1), the version that is provided with Microsoft Windows 2000 SP1. Microsoft SQL 2000 Server includes an updated version of MDAC, version 2.6. This newer version contains a performance optimization that incorrectly manages certain fixed-size bookmarks that are used for location and iteration of data in ADO recordsets.

PFAdmin references the following three .dll files:

Msado15.dll
Cdoex.dll
Cdoexm.dll

A problem with Msado15.dll version 2.60.6526.0 causes the error message described in the "Symptoms" section of this article to occur.
