-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The following error may be recorded in the DIRSYNC.LOG on a requestor
postoffice:

  Fatal 161 Server configuration busy

CAUSE
=====

The above error indicates that the postoffice was once designated a server;
however, it was later changed to a requestor. When this occurs, the SRVCONF.GLB
and MSTTRANS.GLB files are removed, but the T2 processes that were scheduled
still remain in the PROCESS.GLB. When Dispatch runs, it finds the NSDA -s
process scheduled and tries to launch it. However, because this is a requestor,
the postoffice records an error.

RESOLUTION
==========

Reset the PROCESS.GLB file using DEBUG:

  " debug process.glb <ENTER>
  -rcx <ENTER>
  xxxx
  :200 <ENTER>
  -w <ENTER>
  -q <ENTER> " (without the quotation marks)

Then schedule the T1 and T3 processes on this postoffice using the
Administrator's program (ADMIN.EXE) or the DSSCHED.EXE program included in the
"Directory Synchronization (Dir-Sync)" document. For more information about how
to obtain this document, please see the following article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

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

If this error appears on the Dir-Sync server postoffice, make sure that
SRVCONF.GLB is not locked open or missing.
