The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Metadirectory Services 2.1

This article was previously published under Q268526

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]:

-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.
