In certain Active Directory environments containing Windows 2000 PDC emulators, the Enterprise Vault archiving task may attempt to communicate to these servers as if they were a Global Catalog (GC) server for the domain. These communications will fail, causing the task to stop and report the error.
 

Manually enter a GC in the Vault Administration Console:

1. Expand Enterprise Vault | Directory On.. | SiteName | Targets | Exchange | Properties of the Domain
2. Check the box to Use specific Global Catalog Server and enter a known good GC using the Fully Qualified Domain Name
3. Restart all EV services and attempt another restore
