SYMPTOMS

During the T1 phase of automatic directory synchronization (Dir-Sync), or when you manually run the requestor transmit process REQMAIN -T, the following error messages may be displayed in the DIRSYNC.LOG file:

Status Microsoft (R) Mail DirSync Requestor V3.2
Warning[ 2] Error opening file: REQTRANS
Fatal [ 40] Possible database corruption detected: REQTRANS
Warning[152] Failure to transmit requestor updates
Status Requestor process failed.

CAUSE

This error occurs when the REQTRANS.GLB transaction file is missing from the GLB subdirectory on the postoffice.

RESOLUTION

You can create a zero-byte REQTRANS.GLB file; however, this is not a complete resolution to this problem. The resolution depends on whether the postoffice is a Dir-Sync server postoffice or a requestor postoffice. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
