As per Microsoft: "An LDAP version 2 client that performs a search that generates two or more referrals may cause the domain controller on which the search is running to stop responding (hang). The occurrence of the domain controller hanging is random. This is because it depends on the actual size of the buffer that is allocated for the referrals and the size of the referrals". See M324184 for a hotfix applicable to Microsoft Windows 2000 Server.
This event can occur when you run an LDAP script that queries for Active Directory information after you bind to a Windows Server 2003-based domain controller because of a memory issue. See 934407 for a hotfix applicable to Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
See M943576 and M948925 for hotfixes applicable to Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
You may experience this issue if you install a Windows Server 2003-based domain controller into an existing domain that contains Windows Server 2008-based domain controllers and Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Service Pack 4 (SP4)-based domain controllers. See 947020 for information on solving this problem.
See 914036 and the link to "EventID 1173 from source Active Directory" for additional information on this event.
As per Microsoft: "This problem may occur if you have installed Windows 2000 Service Pack 4". See 824226 to find out how to fix this problem. Also check 265090, 279093, 289612, 306091, 825952, 832851 and the link to Error code 0xC0000005 for more information about this event.
According to Microsoft, this issue may occur when destination domain controllers that are performing remote procedure call (RPC)-based replication do not receive replication changes from a source domain controller within the time that the RPC Replication Timeout (mins) registry setting specifies. See M830746 for information on what causes this problem and how to fix it.
See 834926 for a hotfix applicable to Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
Warning If you use the ADSI Edit snap-in, the LDP utility, or any other LDAP version 3 client, and you incorrectly modify the attributes of Active Directory objects, you can cause serious problems. These problems may require you to reinstall Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, or both Windows and Exchange. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems that occur if you incorrectly modify Active Directory object attributes can be solved. Modify these attributes at your own risk.
To resolve this problem, modify Active Directory to remove the affected attribute data. To do this, follow these steps.
Important There are no known Microsoft programs that write these types of entries in Active Directory. The following steps describe a general procedure to remove the third-party attribute data. If you remove this attribute data, the related third-party program may stop working. For more information about how to remove a particular third-party attribute from Active Directory, or for specific instructions about how to remove the settings, contact the program vendor.
