XADM: ADC Removes AdcGlobalNames from Active Directory Objects After a Full Synchronization (811666)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Enterprise Server
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5

SYMPTOMS

When you force a full directory synchronization between an Exchange 2000 Server computer and an Exchange 5.5 Server computer, the Active Directory Connector (ADC) may remove the msExchADCGlobalNames attribute from Active Directory objects.

CAUSE

This behavior may occur when a Custom Recipient (CR) that was created on an Exchange 5.5 Server computer for a mailbox-enabled user in Active Directory is deleted. In this situation, the ADC replicates the custom recipient to the mailbox-enabled user and removes the global name of the Active Directory object.

RESOLUTION

Although there is no resolution for this issue, it causes no damage. When either the Custom Recipient or the Active Directory user is modified, changes are replicated correctly. The msExchADCGlobalNames attribute is restored when required.
