SYMPTOMS
The following error may be recorded in the DIRSYNC.LOG on a requestor postoffice:

Fatal 161 Server configuration busy



CAUSE
The above error indicates that the postoffice was once designated a server; however, it was later changed to a requestor. When this occurs, the SRVCONF.GLB and MSTTRANS.GLB files are removed, but the T2 processes that were scheduled still remain in the PROCESS.GLB. When Dispatch runs, it finds the NSDA -s process scheduled and tries to launch it. However, because this is a requestor, the postoffice records an error.



RESOLUTION
Reset the PROCESS.GLB file using DEBUG:

debug process.glb 

-rcx 

xxxx


 * 200 

-w 

-q 

Then schedule the T1 and T3 processes on this postoffice using the Administrator's program (ADMIN.EXE) or the DSSCHED.EXE program included in the "Directory Synchronization (Dir-Sync)" document. For more information about how to obtain this document, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

96060 PC DirSync: Directory Synchronization (Dir-Sync)



MORE INFORMATION
If this error appears on the Dir-Sync server postoffice, make sure that SRVCONF.GLB is not locked open or missing.
