SYMPTOMS
When the number of Microsoft Exchange Server sites in one organization reaches 213 or more, a knowledge consistency check (KCC) will fail with the following error message:

The knowledge consistency check did not correct directory

inconsistencies.

Be sure the directory service is running, and then try again. If the

error occurs, try stopping the directory service and the 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 Server computer on which you checked knowledge consistency.

Several of the following Event IDs will appear in the Windows NT Event Viewer Application log if diagnostics logging is set to maximum:   Event ID: 1171 Exception e0010004 has occurred with parameters -1026 and 0 (Internal ID  2060400). Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for assistance.



STATUS

Important Notes

 * This fix must be installed on every Microsoft Exchange Server computer in your organization. In addition, you cannot reinstall a previous version of Dsamain.exe on any of your Microsoft Exchange Server computers. If you do so, the Microsoft Exchange Server directory will be damaged beyond repair.
 * This fix must be installed before the limit is reached. The fix does not repair damage that occurs when the limit is reached prior to installing the fix.



MORE INFORMATION
For more information about how to set the Diagnostics Logging level, please refer to the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator's Guide, chapter 17.
