When attempting to start the exchange 2010 management console the error “Initialization Failed: The Operation Couldn’t Be Completed Because a Change Occurred in the Remote Forest” is displayed. This error doesn’t appear to be related to the cause of the problem which can make it especially confusing when trying to resolve. The problem is usually caused by the server/s the management console is connecting to being a higher update roll-up or service pack than the management console itself. Simply make sure the management tools are patched to the same version as the server and you should then be able to connect successfully.
