Event Category: LDAP Operations
Event ID: 8270
Description:
LDAP returned the error [13] Constraint Violation when importing the transaction dn: (DN)
The event description continues with several lines of configuration specific information.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if the Exchange Server 5.5 Organization has a dot (.) in the target server name or organization name.

Exchange 2000 uses Active Directory and Domain Name System (DNS) for Internet domain names natively. Supporting a dot (.) in the organization name would break the domain name.
