SYMPTOMS
On your Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server computer, the Site Replication Service (SRS) may not process directory replication messages. In this scenario, directory replication messages accumulate in the SRS mailbox.

Additionally, the following event may be logged to the application event log: Event Type: Warning

Event Source: MSExchangeSRS

Event Category: Replication

Event ID: 1091

Description:

The directory replication agent (DRA) attempted to open mail with name /o= /ou= /cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn= /cn=Microsoft DSA: but received error 2152006410. Messages could not be sent. Make sure that the mail service on this Microsoft Exchange Server computer is running.

When the SRS does not process directory replication messages, newly created Exchange 2000 users in a mixed-mode Exchange 2000 environment are not replicated to remote Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 sites. Therefore, Exchange 5.5 users in remote sites cannot view newly added Exchange 2000 users in the Exchange 5.5 global address list.

Note This problem occurs even after you apply the hotfix that is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 820537. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

CAUSE
This problem occurs because the SRS continuously receives a shutdown error when it tries to access its mailbox.

Note Error 2152006410 indicates a status of MAPIDRA_E_DISCONNECTING.
