Exchange logs MSExchangeAL Event ID 8331

837444 - Users do not appear in the Global Address List, users cannot connect to their Exchange mailboxes, event ID 8331 is logged, and e-mail names cannot be resolved in Exchange Server 2003

I have seen this a few times. I usually see it just after I add a new user via the SBS add users wizard. The wizard takes FAR longer than normal to add the user and when it completes the new account has no e-mail information shown under the appropriate tab. Restarting the Exchange System attendant service resolves the problem. Looks like I should try to find an appropriate time to install Exchange SP1 . . .
