SYMPTOMS
When you run automatic Directory Synchronization (Dir-Sync) using the Dispatch and External Mail programs, the following error message might be in the postoffice's DIRSYNC.LOG and DSSERVER.LOG files:

GAL not active on this PO

It makes no difference if the postoffice is a server or a requestor.



CAUSE
The Mail administrator has disabled the Global Address List (GAL) automatic rebuild function.



RESOLUTION
Rebuild the GAL manually:


 * 1) From the Mail Administrator program (ADMIN.EXE), choose Config, Dirsync, Requestor, Options and set Rebuild to YES.
 * 2) Run REBUILD.EXE.

The error message is not displayed after the GAL is rebuilt manually.
