SYMPTOMS
========
When you attempt to remove the Private Information Store from an Exchange Server
version 5.0 or 5.5 computer that is acting as the site's replication bridgehead
server, the following error message may be appear:
STOP
This Private Information Store is being used. Remove the Directory
Replication Connector first.
CAUSE
=====
In Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 and 5.5, the information store is used to
deliver and receive inter-site replication messages. The Directory service uses
MAPI calls to communicate with the store for this purpose. In Exchange Server
4.0, the above error message does not appear because the Directory service
communicates directly with the message transfer agent (MTA) for inter-site
replication communications.
