TITLE   :XFOR: False GroupWise CR Created Manually Causes Errors in GW
PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange
PROD/VER:winnt:5.5
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:exc55

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

If a GroupWise custom recipient (CR) with an invalid address is manually created
in Exchange Server and included as part of the Export process, the
Administration Agent (ADA) process in a GroupWise 4.x system may log an error
indicating that the domain specified is invalid. In addition, the API gateway
logs the following error message:

   There are no objects that match the query criteria.

CAUSE
=====

The GroupWise directory synchronization process normally sends a LIST request
for users who belong to the Exchange domain only. However, by including a
GroupWise CR that contains a different domain than Exchange, the connector sends
a LIST request for that invalid domain. This results in errors logged in the
GroupWise system. If this domain matches a valid GroupWise domain, other
problems occur.


RESOLUTION
==========

Do not manually create GroupWise custom recipients, or do not include the CR as
part of the dirsync export process.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The GroupWise connector maintains a dynamic list of the domains that it is
responsible for; in most cases, the domain is "Exchange" and the PO information
should correlate to different Exchange sites.

This list is kept in the Gwpcta.tbl file located in the
Exchsrvr\Connect\Exchconn\Dxagwise folder. The following is an example:

   

   [cfgeditor]
   pcta.ctf=PCTA

   outboundseq=0

   responsecount=0

   [TARGETS]
   EXCHANGE.BETA

The GroupWise 5.x ADA systems do not report an error; however, the API Gateway
does log an error.
