SYMPTOMS
When you are attempting to create a Connection Agreement, you may receive a failure message and see the following event in the Application event log:

Event Type: Error

Event Source: MSADC

Event Category: LDAP Operations

Event ID: 8270

Description:

LDAP returned the error [13] Constraint Violation when importing the transaction dn: (DN)

The event description continues with several lines of configuration specific information.



CAUSE
This problem can occur if the Exchange Server 5.5 Organization has a dot (.) in the target server name or organization name.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
Exchange 2000 uses Active Directory and Domain Name System (DNS) for Internet domain names natively. Supporting a dot (.) in the organization name would break the domain name.
