This issue can occur if you are running a version of Microsoft Metadirectory
Services (MMS) Compass that is earlier than version 2.2.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, uninstall the version of MMS Compass that is earlier than
version 2.2, and then install MMS Compass client version 2.2 (build 0630.1123).
To determine which version of the MMS Compass client you are running:

1. Log on to the MMS server with the Compass client.

2. On the Help menu, click About MMS Compass. Note that if you see About Zoomit
  Compass instead of About MMS Compass, you are using the wrong version. Note
