SYMPTOMS

Dirsync constantly fails with Fatal 203 errors. Using the Outlook client with

CAUSE

The Journaling feature polls the postoffice every 2 minutes to get information
updates for the client. If the user does not close the Outlook client when
rebuild is running, this error will occur.

WORKAROUND
==========

- Close all Outlook clients that use Journaling before dirsync occurs.

-or-
