Removing Entry from Directory Replication Configuration Fails

Modifications to the To or From lists in the Directory Replication dialog box are not saved when you also change the status of replication (that is, whether to import or export directories) before clicking OK to accept the changes and close the dialog box. (The Directory Replication dialog box is reached by going into Control Panel, clicking the Server icon, then clicking the Directory Replication button.)

Make changes to the Directory Replication dialog box in two separate steps.

1. Make desired changes to the To or From lists, then click OK.
2. Reopen the dialog box and make any desired changes in the Do Not Export or Do Not Import buttons. Click OK to save these changes and complete the process.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and Server versions 3.5, 3.51 and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
