TITLE   :XADM: DirRep Bridgehead Errors Modifying Site Naming Contexts
PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange
PROD/VER:5.0
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbusage

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

 - Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

A Microsoft Exchange Directory Replication Bridgehead Server may fail to update
existing, or replicate in new, Microsoft Exchange Site naming contexts. For the
Windows NT Server Event Viewer Application log signature of this problem, please
see the MORE INFORMATION section of this article.

CAUSE
=====

A jet database transaction was not backed out when a value needed to be moved to
the long value table. Subsequently, when a new jet transaction was attempted,
the jet error, -1109, would be returned, failing the new transaction attempt.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server,
version 5.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for
Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0. For information on obtaining the Service
Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the
spaces):

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

With the following Microsoft Exchange Directory Service diagnostic logging
enabled:

     Replication = MAX
     Internal Processing = Min

the following 3 symptoms were noted:

1. The Directory Replication Bridgehead server fails to add new replicas of
   remote Sites, logging the following events:

     1063
     Internal event: The directory replication agent (DRA) was asked to
     replicate naming context <site naming context> from directory

     <EX:/o=<orgname>/ou=<sitename>/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=
     <servername>/cn=Microsoft DSA with options <xxxxx> to another site.

     1171***  <<<< these exception *specifics* indicate "THE" problem
     Exception e0010004 has occured with parameters -1109 and 0 
     (Internal ID 20a00f8). Please contact Microsoft Product Support 
     Services for assistance.

     1059
     Internal error: The directory replication agent (DRA) call returned
     error 22.

     1117
     The consistency checker failed to add a missing replica of naming
     <site naming context> from directory

     EX:/o=<orgname>/ou=<sitename>/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=<servername
     >/cn=Microsoft DSA to directory <servername> with error 22. Run the
     consistency checker on directories

     EX:/o=<orgname>/ou=<sitename>/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=<servername
     >/cn=Microsoft DSA and <servername>.

2. Other Microsoft Exchange Servers within the Site may have stranded replicas
   of one or more of these Sites, thus they request updates for these contexts
   from the Bridgehead, which doesn't have copies of the object, resulting in
   the following event log warnings on the Bridgehead server:

     1070
     Internal event: Directory <dsa-signature> <servername> asked the
     directory replication agent (DRA) to get changes from naming context
     <site naming context> starting at update sequence number (USN)
     <xxxxxxx> with flags 360 and sensitivity 100.

     1059
     Internal error: The directory replication agent (DRA) call returned
     error 6.

3. The Microsoft Exchange Server Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) fails with
   the generic KCC failure:

   The knowledge consistency check did not correct directory inconsistencies. Be
   sure the directory service is running, and then try again. If the error
   recurs, try stopping the directory service and Administrator program and then
   restarting them. To view details of the error, see the application event log
   in the Windows NT Event Viewer on the Microsoft Exchange computer on which
   you checked knowledge consistency.
