Symptoms

When you replicate recipient directory objects between Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Server and Active Directory, you may find that the Active Directory Connector (ADC) stops processing the Recipient Connection Agreement, and events similar to the following are logged in the Application log of Event Viewer:

Cause

This issue may occur if the Exchange 5.5 Server directory database contains orphaned objects (for example, recipient containers) that were deleted at a remote site. In this situation, the Active Directory Connector assumes that the Exchange 5.5 Server directory database cannot be accessed and stops processing the Connection Agreement. As a result, an "Operations Error" is generated.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, remove the orphaned objects from the Exchange 5.5 Server directory database.
