Spent nearly 3 hours on the phone with PSS today - I think we've got it fixed, but I'm going to let it sit for 24 hours before closing the ticket.
Probably the most important thing we did was to delete a buncha connectors from both the 5.5 and 2k3 servers, recreated one of them on the US 2k3 server, then nuked a few thousand replication emails for the PF hierarchy and let it try again. We've got poor bandwidth at the UK office, which may have exacerbated the problem, but the site/group connector spaghetti that the E2k3 install planted was (it seemed to me, as I worked with the tech) the real culprit. So far, so good. Kurt On Wed, Feb 27, 2008 at 5:18 AM, Michael B. Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Without rolling up my sleeves and getting myself into your config - I'd > recommend you call PSS.
