SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0, it is possible that all public folder replication messages will be sent but not processed. This will not result in permanent data loss because the backfill entries will eventually timeout and the hierarchy backfill process will continue. It does mean that the process of creating the hierarchy on newly added or wiped-clean Microsoft Exchange Servers will be much more time consuming than it should be.



MORE INFORMATION
You will notice this when you add or delete servers. Replication will be more time consuming that it should be. You may also notice the delay when no Microsoft Exchange Server responds.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 U.S. Service Pack 2. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
