The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.0, 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Directory information is not propagated from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Exchange
Server during directory synchronization (dirsync). The following errors are
logged in the Microsoft Exchange Server Connectivity browser log:

  1998/03/11 11:02:41- LME-NOTES-DXANOTES(017e) 4 60936:Determine if updates
  should be sent to manager >> pcta(1349)
  1998/03/11 11:02:41- LME-NOTES-DXANOTES(017e) 2 64161:Agent has timed out - it
  will disable sending now >> lndxapo(2125)

CAUSE
=====

The synchronization numbers for inbound and outbound transactions may be out of
sequence.

RESOLUTION
==========

Check the Pcta.tbl files in the Exchconn\Dxanotes and the Exchconn\Dxamex
folders. The outboundseq parameter in the Exchconn\Dxanotes\Pcta.tbl file should
match the inboundseq parameter in the Exchconn\Dxamex\Pcta.tbl file. If the
numbers do not match, perform the following steps:

1. On the Exchange Server computer, stop the Notes connector service.

2. Change the outboundseq number in the Exchconn\Dxanotes\Pcta.tbl file to match
  the inboundseq number in the Exchconn\Dxamex\Pcta.tbl file.

3. In each Pcta.tbl file, set the sendcount parameter to zero if it is not
  already zero.

4. Restart the Notes connector service.

5. Request a full immediate reload from Notes to Exchange Server.
