SYMPTOMS
It is possible that during directory replication the Gateway Address Routing Table (GWART) will be created incorrectly, reflecting incorrect routes. Once directory replication has completed, the GWARTs will be correct. If the Microsoft Exchange Server system is large and there is a high likelihood of latency in the directory replication updates, there it is likely that the GWART will be incorrect for a number of days. While the GWART is incorrect, it will be possible for messages to be routed incorrectly, leading eventually to NDRs.
