XFOR: DXA does not Import X.121 Addresses Correctly (156726)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q156726 SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Exchange Directory Synchronization (DXA) will not allow X.400
addresses to be imported if part of the address contains X121=. Note that
X121 does not have a period between the X and the 1.
The errors seen in the event log are as follows:
Source: X400Proxy
Type: Warning
Description:
X400 address failure. An illegal type name was specified at character
position 21 of X400:x121=1234567890;a=admd;p=prmd;c=gb;'
Source: MSExchangeDX
Type: Error
Description:
The email address of the following transaction is not a valid format.
See previous events logged by Microsoft Exchange System Attendant
component for details. The transaction is a X121 test without a dot
X400:c=gb;a=admd;p=prmd;x121=1234567890;
CAUSE
The X400 gateway will only support X.121 address using the syntax of X121=
with no period between the X and the 1. When you attempt to DirSync such
addresses to Microsoft Exchange, they will fail because Microsoft Exchange
requires the period. This conforms to X400 standards.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange
Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the
