XFOR: Messages Misrouted Due to Directory Replication Latency

Last reviewed: February 12, 1998
Article ID: Q175254

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

In a large Microsoft Exchange Organization, one that contains at least 60 Microsoft Exchange Sites, when a Microsoft Exchange administrator moves the Internet Mail Service (IMS) from one Site to another, it might take several days for the directory replication to complete. During this period, internet mail might be misrouted to the Site where the IMS was originally located.

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.
