XADM: Address Book Views Fail If Referenced Object Is Deleted (166555)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q166555 SYMPTOMS
When you create an Address Book view by server or site and then delete that
referenced server or site, clients who try to access these views will
encounter errors.
CAUSE
The reference count on the server or site objects is not updated when these
views are created. If the server or site is deleted and the Address Book
view is not deleted before the expired tombstones are deleted at the next
garbage collection interval, then the server or site objects referenced in
the view cannot be read and will generate an error when accessed.
WORKAROUND
If a server or site is deleted and there is an Address Book view that
references these objects, the address book view should be deleted before
the tombstone expires and the garbage collection interval occurs.
RESOLUTION
Apply the fix described below. The reference count for the server or site
objects is now updated correctly. This prevents the server or site object
from being deleted until the view is deleted.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 U.S.
Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the
