SYMPTOMS

The following event occurs in the Application event log and as a result, the directory can no longer communicate with the message transfer agent (MTA):

   Event ID: 1092
   Source:   MSExchangeDS
   Type:     Error
   Category: Replication

   Description:
   Internal error: The directory replication agent (DRA) got an exception
   in X400 stubs during intersite replication. Stop and restart this
   Microsoft Exchange Server computer.

CAUSE

This problem is caused by lack of disk space on the drive where the Mtadata subdirectory is located. It can also be caused by a temp or tmp variable that points to a non-existent or full disk.

This behavior is by product design.

WORKAROUND

To resolve this problem, free disk space on the drive where the Mtadata subdirectory or temp/tmp variable is located or move them to a disk that has free space, and then restart the server.

MORE INFORMATION

This error should only occur on a directory replication bridgehead server. Another symptom of the problem can be a number of messages queued in the Directory Service queue of the local MTA.
