SYMPTOMS
You may see the following error on the screen when you run manual Directory
Synchronization (dirsync), just prior to the beginning of Rebuild.exe.
Bad ID or Password
When dirsync is being performed manually, you must make sure the
administrator's account and password are correctly specified to invoke
Import.exe. See the "Directory Synchronization (Dir-Sync)" document for
further details on manual dirsync.
For more information about how to obtain the dirsync document, please
see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
96060 PC DirSync: Directory Synchronization (Dir-Sync)
CAUSE
If the administrator account and password are not correct, no error will be
logged in the Dirsync.log, Dsserver.log, or Central.log file. If dirsync
is being run from a batch file, unless you are watching the screen very
closely, you probably will not notice the error just prior to Rebuild.exe
running. If you are not using a batch file, you will see the error on the
screen.
In addition, Rebuild.exe will run and properly rebuild the Global Address
List. The only evidence of a problem other than actually seeing the
error message will be a failure of the updates to post.
The above error has also been seen where the administrator's name and
password are incorrect in an X25 login script.
RESOLUTION
Make sure the administrator's account name and password are correct for the
postoffice against which Import.exe is being run.
