Yes I realise that, sorry what I was saying was it used to have the IP address in, as it used to have the IP address entered as the remote host under the stack tab, oh and IP address bullet was selected as apposed to remote host name :)
And my point was, it used to have the IP address entered and the problem existed, one of the ideas I found was to try hostname instead, neither solve the problem.

You should enter the IP address into the connector configuration.

I added the hostname to the hosts file to ensure it could be resolved quickly, I can go back to IP address of course. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley [MVP] Sent: 01 June 2006 18:41 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: X400 Associations Is this an X.400 site connector link or a link to an external messaging system? If it's an X.400 site connector link, one thing I'd recommend you look at is how you specify the other server. If it's by name, change it to an IP address. The X.400 link isn't real good at name resolution.

I have followed most of the MS papers on the internet for tweaking different registry keys to do with threads and I have altered the limits on the X400 connector to tell exchange not to open another association until 400 messages are queued. The strange thing is, I am lead to believe that exchange only opens another association when the limit of messages are queued for delivery, the default limit being 50 messages with a fixed maximum of 10 associations (1 for high priority), only our exchange box seems to be opening multiple associations even with nothing queued? Take for instance right now I have perfmon running and there is nothing in the queue yet I have 6 outbound associations open? Perhaps my understanding of the MS papers is way off but I believe this figure should be closer to 0 whilst there is nothing in the queue. I have turned on maximum logging with a 500mb event size and there doesn't appear to be anymore clues apart from about 3 or 4 different event id that simply bang on about the maximum number of associations being reached. It seems to me that exchange is allocating associations but not releasing them to be used again? Any help would be much appreciated; I am running Exchange 5.5(SP4) on windows 2000 Advanced Server(SP4) and is running in an active/passive cluster. Many thanks (again, apologies if you have seen this question on another mailing list, its taken me a while to dig this list up again, the one I wanted to join in the first place!) _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
