SYMPTOMS
When you replicate recipient directory objects between Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Server and Active Directory, you may find that the Active Directory Connector (ADC) stops processing the Recipient Connection Agreement, and events similar to the following are logged in the Application log of Event Viewer:

Event Type: Warning

Source: MSADC

Category: (5)

Event ID: 8033

Description:

LDAP search result on directory. . .com for entry 'cn= ,cn= ,cn= ,ou= ,o= ' was unsuccessful with error:[0x1] Operations Error. (Connection Agreement ' ')

Event Type: Error

Source: MSADC

Category: (1)

Event ID: 8146

Description:

An operation on server '. . .com' returned [0x1] Operations Error. The Connection Agreement ' ' stopped.



CAUSE
This issue may occur if the Exchange 5.5 Server directory database contains orphaned objects (for example, recipient containers) that were deleted at a remote site. In this situation, the Active Directory Connector assumes that the Exchange 5.5 Server directory database cannot be accessed and stops processing the Connection Agreement. As a result, an &quot;Operations Error&quot; is generated.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, remove the orphaned objects from the Exchange 5.5 Server directory database.
