XFOR: Dirsync Fails to Import Addresses with Template Info (167247)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q167247

SYMPTOMS

The directory synchronization agent may incorrectly ignore some incoming addresses if the first line provided with template information contains more than 32 characters.

An examination of the incoming Srvupds.glb file may show entries similar to this one: 
   A Doe, John                      SNADS:NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/JOHND
   M Doe, John                      SNADS:NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/JOHND
   - ATTRIBUTE 1:/ATTRIBUTE DATA
   - ATTRIBUTE 2:/ATTRIBUTE DATA
   - ATTRIBUTE 3:/ATTRIBUTE DATA
This particular entry fails because the line for "ATTRIBUTE 1" is more than 32 characters long.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem:

  • Modify the transaction to be shorter than 32 characters.
