XADM: Directory Replication Does Not Work, Event 1171 with Parameters -1069 and 0 (247654)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q247654 SYMPTOMS
Intrasite replication does not work for the site naming context, and the Event Viewer application log displays the following event ID:
Event ID: 1171
Source: MSExchangeDS
Type: Error
Category: Internal Processing
Description:
Exception e0010004 has occurred with parameters -1069 and 0 (internal ID 2080113). Contact Microsoft Technical Support for assistance.
CAUSE
This issue occurs when a replication message is received that requires a very large number of changes on a single object in the directory, as is typically seen with distribution lists (DLs) that contain more than 5,000 members. For replication changes to finish successfully, all the members in the DL must be loaded into the Exchange Server computer's version store. If the version store is not adequate, event 1171 is logged and replication doesn't work.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, limit the size of your distribution lists. Larger DLs can be achieved by nesting DLs together, rather than creating very large DLs.
WORKAROUNDIMPORTANT: This article contains information about modifying the registry. Before you
modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that you understand how to restore
the registry if a problem occurs. For information about how to back up, restore, and edit the
registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve
problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk.
To work around this issue:
- Start Registry Editor.
- Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeDS\Parameters - On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value Name: EDB max ver pages (increment over the minimum) Data Type: REG_DWORD Radix: Decimal Value: 2000
NOTE: You need to enter all the above text after "Value Name:", including the text in parentheses, exactly as it appears above.
- Quit Registry Editor.
- Re-start the Exchange Directory Service for these changes to take effect.
NOTE: If the value of 2,000 (default 1,000) is not adequate, increase this value in increments of 1,000. This value represents 16-kilobyte (KB) pages, so 2,000 X 16 KB of memory is allocated for the version store. It is important to not set this value too high as you deplete the memory resources on your Exchange Server computer and potentially hinder its performance.
This setting must be added to all Exchange Server computers in the organization that are receiving the events described in the "Symptoms" section.
