XADM: Exchange DirRep Bridgehead Errors Modifying Site Naming Contexts

MORE INFORMATION

     Replication = MAX
     Internal Processing = Min
				

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.
