Hi,<br />
<br />
The account probably does exist in your Active Directory. I suggest that you do the following: <br />
<br />
Go into LDP and do a search for cn=service<br />
<br />
The article below explains how to use LDP to find objects in Active Directory<br />

I have a Windows 2000 server with Exchange 2000.<br />
<br />
I'm planning to switch from using my ISP for email to hosting my own email.<br />
<br />
<br />
With the ISP I had an alias called service@domain.com<br />
<br />
I'm trying to creat a distribution group in Exchange and it won't let me. &nbsp;It says the name already exists. &nbsp;I've looked through all of the users and don't have anything called &quot;service&quot;.<br />
<br />
Is this an account that Exchange uses by default for something and can it be changed b/c I can't change that one alias.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />
