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 simultaneously.
