Error retrieving data from the server
![qa-featured](https://www.techyv.com/sites/default/users/superadmin/qa-featured-300x270.png)
Hey,
My name is Alice. I am a database administrator, but not really with a lot of experience as pertains exchange servers.
I am running an exchange server 2008 in my office. Everything was working fine until I had to re install the software due to some virus attack.
Everything has been set up well, I believe. But when I am trying to open a remote pure message console on my exchange server, I get the following error which I have no idea on how to solve it.

Error retrieving data from the server. Ensure server / database is started and try again.
I am newbie with little experience in this field, but then need to solve this as soon as possible. Any help on this, will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
