When you use the Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Administrator program to view an object in the Site Replication Service (SRS), you may receive the following error message:
The object cannot be found in the directory. This may be because replication has not completed.

This behavior occurs because the Administrator program uses MAPI to access objects. However, the SRS does not have a MAPI header. The properties of the objects in the SRS are retrieved from Active Directory. You can view the properties of the objects in the SRS in the global address list (GAL). When you try to obtain the properties of the object, the Administrator program makes a MAPI call to retrieve the properties of the object. However, these properties do not actually exist in the SRS database.

To work around this behavior, build an Active Directory Connector to synchronize Active Directory users to the Exchange Server 5.5 environment.
