XADM: Microsoft Mail Interchange Hang During DirSync (140946)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q140946 SYMPTOMS
During a normal Directory Synchronization (DirSync) cycle, the Microsoft
Mail Interchange (MSMI) hangs on some, but not all, outgoing messages
created by the Microsoft Exchange Directory Synchronization Service (DXA)
when Microsoft Exchange is acting as the DirSync Server. This is normally
only seen in organizations with large Global Address Lists (GALs) and is
only seen on multi-processor machines running the MSMI Service.
CAUSE
By default, the DXA compresses all outgoing DirSync messages. Microsoft
Mail postoffices do not understand this compressed file so it is necessary
for the MSMI to decompress it prior to sending to any Microsoft Mail
postoffice. This code was not optimized for multi-processor machines.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 4.0. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
U.S. Service Pack 2. For information on obtaining the service pack, query
