Exchange Extension Error SBS 2003
When I right click on a user in SBS 2003 Active Directory and select properties, there is a 1-2 minute pause and then a window pops up that says:
The operation failed.
ID no: 80004005
Microsoft Active Directory - Exchange Extension
I click OK and then all seems to work fine until I try to active another user and the same thing happens.
In case it matters, Exchange is installed on the server; however, I do not use it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

How long ago did you install this server? Because it sounds as though you have not been following the proper methods that SBS requires. Generally, on an SBS, you wouldn't modify a user from ADUC but instead you would use the Users snap-in of the Small Business Server Management Console.
SBS is a specialized product that comes with a pre-configured default AD and DNS structure. You need to install it according to it's documentation by using all of the wizards if you want it to run smoothly. If you choose NOT to use the wizards you must be fully aware of all the parameters that SBS requires for a successful and SECURE configuration.
and235100's suggestion to remove Exchange is absolutely a bad idea. Exchange is a fully integrated component of SBS and not having it installed will cause other things to fail or break.
May I ask why you aren't using Exchange? Were you aware of the specialized nature of SBS when you bought it?

No problem with that.
SBS is pointless to my mind. It is just not worth the money, for the lack of configuration.
I would rather spend more - and have multiple servers to handle different jobs.
