SYMPTOMS
If you use the Move Server Wizard to move a server from or into a mixed Microsoft Exchange 2000 and Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 environment, it may cause objects not to synchronize with Active Directory.



CAUSE
The Move Server Wizard issues a delete command for objects that it moves. If these objects synchronize with Active Directory by means of the Active Directory Connector (ADC), the objects moved to another site in the same organization may not be picked up throughout replication as they are considered to no longer exist because they have been deleted.



WORKAROUND
If this behavior occurs, see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article for additional information:

255689 Moved server that has its objects replicated by the Active Directory Connector doesn't synchronize with Active Directory



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Exchange 2000 Server.



MORE INFORMATION
Using the Move Server Wizard as described in the "Symptoms" section is not supported.
