Error Occurs When Modifying Existing Route

The Routing Wizard sample application or a custom application you have written can quit unexpectedly with a 0x8000ffff error when attempting to modify an existing route. This can occur if the user does not have full Event Scripting permission and the computer hosting the Event Service is part of a multi-site topology. To fix this problem, change the default permissions on the EventConfig_<server> folder, where <server> is the name of the server hosting the Event Service.

To change the default permissions

1. In the Microsoft Exchange Administrator window, choose Folders, and then choose System Folders.
2. Choose Events Root, and then choose EventConfig_<server>.
3. From the File menu, choose Properties.
4. Choose Client Permissions.
5. In the Name box, select Default.
6. Select the Folder Visible check box, and then choose OK.
