XFOR: DirSync Deletes and Modifies Not Being Processed by DXA (155727)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q155727 SYMPTOMS
Delete and modify directory synchronization (dirsync) transactions are
not processed by the Microsoft Exchange Server Directory Synchronization
Agent (DXA).
CAUSE
When using Microsoft Mail, it is common practice (although not recommended)
to force names into the dirsync stream by using the IMPORT -E command.
Everything is directory synchronized; the entire organization sees everyone
and can send and receive from everyone.
When you use the IMPORT -E command with Microsoft Exchange Server as the
dirsync server, you may run into problems. Every Microsoft Mail user in the
Microsoft Exchange organization has an Imported-From value, which is the
name of the Requester object that the transaction came from. Therefore, all
Delete and Modify transactions for any Microsoft Mail user other than the
Requester object the transaction came from are discarded by Microsoft
Exchange Server. The reason is the Delete and Modify transactions come in
from their appropriate postoffice and therefore do not match the Imported-
From field.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
4.0 and 5.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 and 5.0
U.S. Service Packs. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the
