Explanation
This alert indicates that a dynamic link library file (.dll), which is one of the .dll files loaded by the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service during startup, is either corrupted or not present.
Event 9002 indicates that the internal Recipient Update Service in the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service failed to start. The Recipient Update Service is a component of the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant, and the code for the Recipient Update Service is in the ABV_DG.DLL file. When the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant starts, it loads several .dll files, and one of them is the ABV_DG.dll file. A failure to load the file and initiate the Recipient Update Service can result in this event.
Note
The Recipient Update Service is only required in organizations that contain both Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2003 servers. To learn more about running Exchange 2010 in a mixed environment, see Exchange 2003 - Planning Roadmap for Upgrade and Coexistence.
Event 9005 indicates that the OABGEN.dll file, which is one of the .dll files loaded by the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service during startup, is either corrupted or not present. The error code is usually C007007E, which maps to ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND.
User Action
To resolve this alert, do one of the following:
To resolve event 9002:

If the file is present, make sure that the file version is the same as the installed Exchange version.
