SYMPTOMS
========


After moving a Microsoft Exchange Server bridgehead server or replacing an
existing Exchange Server in a site, the Exchange Server administrator may notice
a large number of the following errors in the Windows NT Application log:

  Event ID 1224 MSExchangeDS Replication Fatal replication error (Internal ID
  3030174). Parameters 6c1e673d9bd6d011b66b08002be5a6b2 22627.

CAUSE
=====

This error occurs when Exchange Server checks the USN from an incoming
replication message and determines the number is too high. This is a normal
occurrence when moving bridgehead servers within a site or replacing servers
within a site. In these circumstances, this error can be ignored.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for
Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0. For information on obtaining the Service
Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
