Hi! I have installed the System.net.Mangement plug in in VS .net 2003. Now I am adding an instance of the Excahnge Server in my server explorer. After this , I right clicked on Management Classes and added added ExchangeServerState from the Add Classes snap-in root/cimv2/applications/exchange. When I drag and drop the ExchangeServerState onto my web form, it displays a little window box with an error message as follows: Error: Reason: Provider is not capable of the attempted operation. Do I need to grab some dll's from the Exchange server and register that on my development machine? Can anyone help??? -- SKP
