MORE INFORMATION
This update implements the following changes in Exchange Server 5.5:
 * When an unknown LegacyExchangeDN attribute exists in a public folder Access Control List, the DS/IS consistency adjuster performs an X.500 search. The DS/IS consistency adjuster performs the X.500 search in the Exchange Server 5.5 directory service to try to locate a match for the unknown LegacyExchangeDN attribute.
 * If a match for the unknown LegacyExchangeDN attribute is located, the DS/IS consistency adjuster updates the public folder Access Control List with the new LegacyExchangeDN attribute from the new object.
 * If a match for the unknown LegacyExchangeDN attribute is not located, the DS/IS consistency adjuster removes the unknown LegacyExchangeDN attribute.
 * After this update is installed on your Exchange Server 5.5 computer, the other processes can determine that your Exchange Server 5.5 computer has the new DS/IS logic.
