XADM: Errors Processing Incoming Replication Messages

ID: Q140448

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you try to select the system folders from the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program the following error may occur:

An internal processing error has occurred: naming violation. Try restarting the Administrator Program or the Microsoft Exchange Server computer, or both.

Microsoft Exchange Directory ID No: DS_E_NAMING_VIOLATION

This will also be paired with an error in the Application Log. The application log message SOURCE will be the MSExchangeIS Public, the EVENT ID will be 3089, the CATEGORY will be Replication and Type will be Warning. The description will read as follows:

Error 0x8004010f occurred while processing an incoming replication message.

CAUSE

When you select the properties of a system folder, the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program is calling the Microsoft Exchange Directory (DS) and asking for a site id from a table in the database. The DS does not have an entry in that field to return and generates the above error messages.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 U.S. Service Pack 2. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
