TITLE   :Buffer Limit Exceeded Importing Exchange Groups in Metadirectory
PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT
PROD/VER::2.1
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbenv kberrmsg kbtool

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Metadirectory Services 2.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you run Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Microsoft Exchange
Management Agent (MA) and import groups into the metadirectory, its buffer limit
may be exceeded and you may receive the following error messages in the
Zscript.log file on log level four:

   Checking connector space for obsolete records at 13:17:23...
   update $cs.zcDsCdHandle [<binary>] with [<binary>]
   0001-CONNECTOR MODIFIED[00]:
   IST=dlmmsATCEXCH4,cn=Dlists,ou=DIRSYNCH,o=ICL,ma=Wayne,DsaName=minimi,
   ou=Applications,o=PSS,dc=Microsoft,dc=com
   0001-META UNCHANGED[00]:
   LIST=dlmmsATCEXCH4,CN=Dlists,OU=DIRSYNCH,o=ICL,o=PSS,dc=Microsoft,dc=com in
   template [zcDscConstruction] in the statement starting at line 105

-or-

   ERROR 19008: DS_RC_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur when a variable assignment has a statement that
encounters a hard-coded limit. The following list must be processed separately:

   $v_lm = ($list_member("(+uniquemember:+$v_ldapDn)"))

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this behavior, you must make changes to the templates, by following
these steps:

1. Click Design MA.

2. Click the Control Connected Directory tab.

3. Click the Output Templates tab

4. In the Add and Modify tabs, make the following changes :

   ($list_member($v_member))
   Comment out: #($v_lm)

Then make further changes to the template, by following these steps:

1. Click Design MA.

2. Click the Control Connected Directory tab.

3. Click Output Construction Template.

4. Click CD Lists from Connectors and make the following change:

   if $EXIST ( $v_ldapDn ) = T
   then
   if $CS.zcLdapGroupType = groupOfUniqueNames
   then
   $v_member = +uniquemember:+$v_ldapDn
   else
   $v_member = +member:+$v_ldapDn
   endif
   endif

Then use the following steps to comment out (disable) lines from the templates:

1. Click Design MA.

2. Click the Control Connected Directory tab.

3. Click Output Construction Template.

4. Click CD Accounts from Connectors.

5. Comment out the following statements:

   # if $AT.zcLdapGroupType = groupOfUniqueNames
   # then
   # $v_lm = ($list_member("(+uniquemember:+$v_ldapDn)"))
   # else
   # $v_lm = ($list_member("(+member:+$v_ldapDn)"))
   # endif

STATUS
======

The preceding behavior has been resolved in Microsoft Metadirectory Services
version 2.2 with the same template modifications.
