SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the InterOrg Synchronization tool from the Back Office Resource
Kit, some users that should be imported into the global address list are not
imported. You may not be able to determine why those users were not imported in
the Microsoft Windows NT Event Viewer program.

- The user does not have a SMTP e-mail address.

  -or-

- The user does not have a unique SMTP e-mail address.

RESOLUTION
==========

A new version of the InterOrg Synchronization tool is now available that
includes increased event logging to help troubleshoot this problem.

Component: Exchange Server OrgSynch Windows NT Service

After you obtain this feature, event logging is enhanced for the following
situations:

Entry Has No SMTP Address:

When the InterOrg Synchronization tool does not add an entry because the entry
has no SMTP address, the following events are logged in the application event
log. To identify the mailbox that has no SMTP address, examine the Distinguished

STATUS

Resource Kit, Second Edition, and is supported on a "Commercially Reasonable"
