XFOR: Dir-Sync Requestor Updates Not Being Updated Properly (156714)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q156714 SYMPTOMS
A Microsoft Exchange Server that is a dir-sync requestor may send improper
updates to the dir-sync server. This occurs when the requestor is
configured to send updates and not receive updates. Under these conditions,
the ReqTX number is not updated although dir-sync transactions have been
submitted.
This problem occurs when the Receive Updates option is not selected.
CAUSE
When the server replies, the Directory Synchronization service (DXA)
presumes (incorrectly) that there will always be an attachment. When it
does not find one it goes to the error recovery section of the code, but
never updates the status information. Thus the dir-sync loop is not
complete and further transactions cannot be sent to the server.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do the following:
- On the File menu, click Properties, then click Settings.
- Select the Receive Updates option.
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
