SYMPTOMS
A Windows 2000 domain controller may stop responding (hang) while replicating schema updates to other domain controllers in the domain and log event ID 1153. This event states that a class identifier has a superclass that is invalid, for example:
Note that this problem can occur after you install Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server on the domain controller.
NOTE: On a Windows 2000-based domain controller, when you open the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, you may receive the following error message:
CAUSE
This problem occurs when a replication rule in the Ntdsa.dll code is changed to allow the replication of a class whose superclass has not yet replicated.
In versions of Windows 2000 before you apply this hotfix, the Ntdsa.dll file stopped replicating a class if a superclass did not replicate.
