The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

The following event occurs in the Application event log and as a result, the
directory can no longer communicate with the message transfer agent (MTA):

  Event ID: 1092
  Source:   MSExchangeDS
  Type:     Error
  Category: Replication

  Description:
  Internal error: The directory replication agent (DRA) got an exception
  in X400 stubs during intersite replication. Stop and restart this
  Microsoft Exchange Server computer.

CAUSE
=====

This problem is caused by lack of disk space on the drive where the Mtadata
subdirectory is located. It can also be caused by a temp or tmp variable that
points to a non-existent or full disk.

This behavior is by product design.

WORKAROUND
==========

To resolve this problem, free disk space on the drive where the Mtadata
subdirectory or temp/tmp variable is located or move them to a disk that has
free space, and then restart the server.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This error should only occur on a directory replication bridgehead server.
Another symptom of the problem can be a number of messages queued in the
Directory Service queue of the local MTA.
