SYMPTOMS
========

When you perform an automated export of the Exchange Server directory, the
following event ID message may be logged in the Application event log:

  Event ID: 179
  Source: MSExchangeDSExp
  Description: Unable to initialize directory user agent (DUA) workspace.

CAUSE
=====

This issue can occur because there is a resource limitation in Dapi.dll; the
maximum number of directory operation sessions is 10.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, schedule exports to be run sequentially rather than
