Details

Product Name	Exchange
Product Version	14.0 (Exchange 2010)
Event ID	5008
Event Source	MSExchangeTransport
Alert Type	Error
Rule Path	Microsoft Exchange Server/Exchange 2010/Common Components/Hub Transport and Edge Transport/Transport
Rule Name	The topology doesn't contain a route to the server in the Active Directory site in the routing tables.

Explanation

This Error event indicates that the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 transport routing engine can't find a route to the specified Exchange server in the specified Active Directory site. Therefore, routing is unable to deliver messages to this server. This error may be caused by replication latency. This error can also occur if there are no Hub Transport servers configured in the specified Active Directory site.

User Action

To resolve this error, do one or more of the following:

Verify that the specified Active Directory site is included in at least one IP site link.
If the specified Active Directory site was recently created, this error may be caused by Active Directory replication latency. Because no route is available, the messages will be delivered to the Unreachable queue and resubmitted when routing configuration changes.
Verify that the Active Directory site that is specified in the error message text contains at least one Hub Transport server.
Review the Application log and System log on your Exchange 2010 servers for related events. For example, events that occur immediately before and after this event may provide more information about the root cause of this error.
Resolve your issue by using self-support options, assisted support options, and other resources. You can access these resources from the Exchange Server Solutions Center.
