SYMPTOMS
========
The Exchange Server directory service may not start and the following event ID
1171 error message may be logged in the application event log:
Event ID: 1171
Source: MSExchangeDS
Type: Error
Category: Internal Processing
Description:
Exception e0010002 has occurred with parameters 9 and 2 (internal ID 30c043f).
Contact Microsoft Technical Support for assistance.
CAUSE
=====
This issue can occur if a directory is restored from backup on a server (for
this example, server A) and the directory contains knowledge of a server in the
directory's site that has been deleted (for this example, server B).
After the tape restoration, when server A starts, server A attempts to
synchronize with the other servers in the site and determines that server B has
been deleted from the site, but server A maintains a reference to the deleted
server.
While server A is in this state (this state persists until server A runs the
knowledge consistency checker process), if server B is re-installed in the site
with the same name, another reference to server B is added to the directory on
server A (which results in two references to server B). This inconsistency may
prevent the directory service on server B from starting.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server 5.5.
