More info on this. It appears that I had a RUS Policy go awry. I had created a custom policy to create a "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" using %g_%s. The policy worked like a charm if an object had a firstname and lastname, but public folders don't have those. It appears that the RUS was trying to create those proxy addresses during each cycle thus creating 100's of bogus smtp proxy addresses. MS has a KB indicating that there is a hotfix available through PSS, but it doesn't seem to perform the cleanup http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;834349.
I now need to clean those up, but with hundreds of public folders to process and 100's of entries per, it is not going to be easy to do through ESM or ADSIEdit. Will ldfe allow me to work on the proxy addresses of public folders? Any other suggestions to perform the cleanup? I have disabled those proxy addresses in the RUS policy until I can work out how to enable it without effecting public folders again or until I get the hotfix. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ExchangeDiscussions Posted At: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 4:30 PM Posted To: ExchDiscuss Conversation: Odd PF/AD Errors Subject: Odd PF/AD Errors I recently followed the white paper for removing the first Exchange 2K server from a site (still mixed mode 5.5/2k3). AD is native Windows 2003 mode, and the Organization is still migrating from Exchange 5.5. Since removing our Exchange 2K server we have noticed several Directory Service errors (1 each for our Public Folders and a couple of System Folders). I'm pasting one of the errors below: ***Start paste*** Event Type: Error Event Source: NTDS SDPROP Event Category: Internal Processing Event ID: 2008 Date: 8/31/2005 Time: 4:02:30 PM User: NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON Computer: HCPHDC1 Description: Internal error: The security descriptor propagation task encountered an error while processing the following object. The propagation of security descriptors may not be possible until the problem is corrected. Object: CN=EPI Contacts,CN=Microsoft Exchange System Objects,DC=hcphes,DC=hc,DC=hctx,DC=net Additional Data Error value: -1112 [] Internal ID: 2080490 For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. ***End paste*** I googled it and only found a couple of confirmations of entries no details. Just curious if anyone has run across this before? I have used pfdavadmin and repaired all of the folders that I have permissions to (which are most), but that seems to have had no effect. The text of the error is the same for all entries except for the object, which cycles through our public folders. This occurs every 30 minutes. The only common thread is that the "Email Addresses" tab of each affected public folder has an unusual number of smtp entries starting like [EMAIL PROTECTED] they appear to be hex entries and presumably were created by a RUS somewhere. That may be what is causing the above error, but if so I'm not sure what put the bogus smtp entries there in the first place. Any suggestions? AD is Windows 2K3 with SP1 native, Exchange is 2003 with SP1 and all hotfixes in mixed mode.
