SYMPTOMS
When you are installing Exchange Server version 5.5 and using a very long
site or organization name, errors may occur. If the name is longer than 64
characters but fewer than 256, a dialog box will be displayed with the
following message:
Setup could not completely translate the organization and site display
names into values suitable for generating e-mail addresses. Please enter
the organization and site directory names.
A dialog box will be displayed that allows you to specify a directory name
for the organization and site. Valid input will only be a drive
specification (that is, C: or D:). Setup will resume from this point and
use the previously specified long site and organization names (abbreviated
to 64 characters).
If the name you entered for the site or the organization is more than 256
characters, you will receive the following error message:
An internal processing error has occurred: constraint violation. The
value specified for an attribute is either too big, too small, or not
valid.
Microsoft Exchange Directory
ID no: DS_E_CONSTRAINT_VIOLATION
Setup will fail at this point. The only alternative is to restart the Setup
program and select a shorter name for the organization and site of the
Exchange Server computer.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Exchange Server versions
5.0 and 5.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
