XADM: Administrative Group Members of Distribution List Are Removed After You Replicate by Using Exchange 5.5 (811664)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5

SYMPTOMS

When you create a Distribution List on your mixed-mode Exchange 2000 Server that contains administrative group members from another Exchange 2000 Server, the administrative group members are removed from the Distribution List after the replication process with your Exchange 5.5-based server completes.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the ADCGlobalNames property is not replicated when you complete an inter-site replication from the Active Directory directory service to Exchange 5.5.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, configure all Exchange 5.5 sites and Exchange 2000 Server administrative groups with two-way connection agreements. You can also try to consolidate all your Distribution Lists into one administrative group, and then make sure that the administrative group is configured for two-way replication with your Exchange 5.5 sites.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.
