RE: A required directory operation was unsuccessful (HELP!!!!)
If u do a directory export and then reimport it, it will repair the x400 addresses. Thats assuming that this is actually your issue. -Original Message- From: Jimmy Dejesus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 7:32 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: A required directory operation was unsuccessful (HELP) Everything works fine execept OUTBOUND email.

In your position, I would probably take an online backup. Apply Exchange5.5 sp4 over again, and have another look. Then I would plan to apply NTsp6a and reapply Exchangesp4 in the near future.

RE: A required directory operation was unsuccessful (HELP!!!!)
Sorry, Jimmy. It seems I have more questions than answers. Is there ANY outbound? Is this user specific? ANY changes made to the system at all? Connectors removed? X400 addressing messed up? Drivespace ok? Nothing else in the app event log at all? I have not seen this before. Hopefully someone else has? In your position, I would probably take an online backup. Apply Exchange5.5 sp4 over again, and have another look. Then I would plan to apply NTsp6a and reapply Exchangesp4 in the near future. Or I might call PSS.

Thanks, Reverend. William -Original Message- From: John Eddy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 4:51 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: A required directory operation was unsuccessful (HELP) Jimmy, Why do you believe the x400 addressing is screwed up? If it was, I would believe that mail to a Distribution List would fail as well. Does it? If it does work, then x400 is probably fine. Can you look at the properties of the IMS and the MTA in control panel - services and see what account they are configured to start up with? Also, has the Exchange Service Account password been changed recently? Has it ever worked? When did it stop working? Are there any exchange 2000 servers in the site? Also, if it's really that important and immediate of a concern, I highly recomment calling support. I know lots of the brains on this list personally, and I think they'll all agree that one-on-one conversation in real time is usually the fastest route to a solution. Sure it costs money, but, if 'I have to get this working or I'm screwed' is the situation, maybe that option bears looking into.

Agreed. $250 is a small price to pay to put this to bed. It could cost more in downtime if you continue to try and troubleshoot yourself. -Original Message- From: John Eddy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 4:51 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: A required directory operation was unsuccessful (HELP) Also, if it's really that important and immediate of a concern, I highly recomment calling support.

Internal mail works ok when people are connected inside the LAN. I believe the X400 addressing is messed up. Is there a way to fix that? Do I need to do a new install of exchange 5.5? If so, Can someone tell me how to do that? I think soemthing went wrong in the organizational name. I have to have this working or I'm screwed! :( I hope anyone else can help. My Aol AIM is hgljim I hope someone could help me... Thanks. Sorry, Jimmy. It seems I have more questions than answers. Is there ANY outbound? Is this user specific? ANY changes made to the system at all? Connectors removed? X400 addressing messed up? Drivespace ok? Nothing else in the app event log at all? I have not seen this before. Hopefully someone else has? In your position, I would probably take an online backup. Apply Exchange5.5 sp4 over again, and have another look. Then I would plan to apply NTsp6a and reapply Exchangesp4 in the near future. Or I might call PSS.
