SYMPTOMS
A Microsoft Exchange Directory Replication Bridgehead Server may fail to update existing, or replicate in new, Microsoft Exchange Site naming contexts. For the Windows NT Server Event Viewer Application log signature of this problem, please see the MORE INFORMATION section of this article.



CAUSE
A jet database transaction was not backed out when a value needed to be moved to the long value table. Subsequently, when a new jet transaction was attempted, the jet error, -1109, would be returned, failing the new transaction attempt.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

MORE INFORMATION
With the following Microsoft Exchange Directory Service diagnostic logging enabled:

    Replication = MAX Internal Processing = Min

the following 3 symptoms were noted:

  The Directory Replication Bridgehead server fails to add new replicas of remote Sites, logging the following events:

    1063 Internal event: The directory replication agent (DRA) was asked to    replicate naming context from directory

<EX:/o= /ou= /cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn= /cn=Microsoft DSA with options to another site.

1171*** <<<< these exception *specifics* indicate "THE" problem Exception e0010004 has occured with parameters -1109 and 0 (Internal ID 20a00f8). Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for assistance.

1059    Internal error: The directory replication agent (DRA) call returned error 22.

1117    The consistency checker failed to add a missing replica of naming from directory

EX:/o= /ou= /cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=/cn=Microsoft DSA to directory with error 22. Run the consistency checker on directories

EX:/o= /ou= /cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=/cn=Microsoft DSA and.   Other Microsoft Exchange Servers within the Site may have stranded replicas of one or more of these Sites, thus they request updates for these contexts from the Bridgehead, which doesn't have copies of the object, resulting in the following event log warnings on the Bridgehead server:

    1070 Internal event: Directory  asked the directory replication agent (DRA) to get changes from naming context starting at update sequence number (USN) with flags 360 and sensitivity 100.

1059    Internal error: The directory replication agent (DRA) call returned error 6. </li> The Microsoft Exchange Server Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) fails with the generic KCC failure:

The knowledge consistency check did not correct directory inconsistencies. Be sure the directory service is running, and then try again. If the error recurs, try stopping the directory service and Administrator program and then restarting them. To view details of the error, see the application event log in the Windows NT Event Viewer on the Microsoft Exchange computer on which you checked knowledge consistency.
