Q280051: Foreign User Exclusion Template Has a Duplicate Message Number

Article: Q280051
Product(s): Microsoft Windows NT
Version(s): 2.1,2.2
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbtool
Last Modified: 25-NOV-2000

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Metadirectory Services, versions 2.1, 2.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

In the Microsoft Exchange MAPI Management Agent, the same message number is
displayed in the Exclusion template twice:

  message 300
  $exist($MULTI_VALUED("$MA()", $zcConnectedDirectoryID)) = T

  message 300
  $structuralObjectClass = list
  $MA($zcExchangeExcludeCustomRecipientsListCreate) = TRUE

  message 301
  $embedded("applications", $mv.dn) = T

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, change the message number in the Exclusion template. To
do this, follow these steps:

1. On the Actions menu, click Configure.

2. Click the "Inclusions and Exclusions" tab.

3. Click the Foreign Entries tab.

4. Click the Exclusions tab.

5. Edit the template. By default, only three messages are listed. Renumber the
  messages 300, 301 and 302.

6. Click OK to save the changes.

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

This issue does not affect the functionality of the Management Agent. This
behavior may only be an issue when you view the logs to see why an entry was
excluded. When the logging level is set to 2, the logs report an exclusion for
each entry. For example:

  0003-EXCLUDED[300]: cn=Peter
  Lee,ou=Employees,dc=testdom,dc=com

In this case, the user is reported as being excluded on message 300. Because
message 300 exists twice, you cannot determine which exclusion rule was
applied.

For details about how to use Inclusion and Exclusion templates, refer to the
Inclusion and Exclusion Filters topic that is located in the online
documentation for Microsoft Metadirectory Services.
