" The component "Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services: cannot be assigned the action "Upgrade" because: - Setup is unable to access the Site Replication Service database,. Please verify that the SRS servie is started and you have Administrative rights to the Exhcange 5.5 Organization, Stie, and configuration containers for this server.

In the test environment, i cannot start the SRS service". any suggestions? Thanks Tara
Hi Tara, if there are NO other 5.5 servers in your organization, you could try deleting the Site Replication Service in the Exchange System Mgr. Go to Tools and Site Replication Service and delete this. You can also convert to native mode at this time if desired 272314 XADM: Preparing a Mixed Mode Organization for Conversion to Native Mode http://support.microsoft.com/?id=272314 Hope this helps "T_Dogg" wrote: > Hi, > I am trying to upgrade from E2k to E2k3, i'm getting an error as soon as i > select upgrade and next.
