The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Enterprise Server
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q325520

SYMPTOMS

When you replicate recipient directory objects between Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Server and Active Directory, you may find that the Active Directory Connector (ADC) stops processing the Recipient Connection Agreement, and events similar to the following are logged in the Application log of Event Viewer:

Event Type: Warning
Source: MSADC
Category: (5)
Event ID: 8033
Description:
LDAP search result on directory ServerName.ChildDomain.Company.com for entry 'cn=User.Name,cn=RecipientsContainer,cn=Recipients,ou=OldSiteName,o=OrganizationName' was unsuccessful with error:[0x1] Operations Error. (Connection Agreement 'Connection Agreement Name')

Event Type: Error
Source: MSADC
Category: (1)
Event ID: 8146
Description:
An operation on server 'ServerName.ChildDomain.Company.com' returned [0x1] Operations Error. The Connection Agreement 'Connection Agreement Name' stopped.

CAUSE

This issue may occur if the Exchange 5.5 Server directory database contains orphaned objects (for example, recipient containers) that were deleted at a remote site. In this situation, the Active Directory Connector assumes that the Exchange 5.5 Server directory database cannot be accessed and stops processing the Connection Agreement. As a result, an "Operations Error" is generated.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, remove the orphaned objects from the Exchange 5.5 Server directory database.
