Mail Enabling Public Folders

Hey all, i am having trouble mail enabling all new public folders(the older ones all work).

I go to the properties of the public folder and it gives me this message:
The mail proxy for this folder can not be found, This may be due to replication delays. The mail enabled pages will not be shown. ID no: c1038a21, exchange system manager.

Then in the event viewer:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeSA
Event Category: General
Event ID: 9188
Date: 11/09/2001
Time: 10:37:16 AM
User: N/A
Computer: ****
Description:
Microsoft Exchange System Attendant failed to read the membership of group 'cn=Exchange Domain Servers,cn=Users,dc=something,dc=something,dc=com'. Error code '80005000'.

Please check whether the local computer is a member of the group. If it is not, stop all the Microsoft Exchange services, add the local computer into the group manually and restart all the services.

There is also this message:

Event Type: Warning

Anyone know why?

Thanks

Mikecr pointed me in the right direction but i still had to figure out how what groups to add into the users. Thank you for your time Mikecr.

Your welcome. Normally the pointer in the error message will specify the group name/s that are causing the problem.

It does point to the group name that is causing the problem, however, you actually have to add the computer account of the exchange server to the domain users group. You do not get the option "Microsoft Exchange System Attendant failed to read the membership of group 'cn=Exchange Domain Servers,cn=Users...". Exchange domain servers does not appear when adding a member to Domain Users. You have to add the compute account instead.

Hello, I am having trouble mail enabling all new public folders (the older ones that were creating in Exchange 5.5 before upgrading to Exchange 2000 all work).

Have tried everything above and other things I could find to no avail.... anyone know why this is and how to fix???

Thanks,
